Ongesturelistener Ondown Method Never Gets Called

My onScroll and areonTouchEvent getting called, but not the onDown method. In fact, when I log the distaceX in onDown I get several of them logged out, and the first is always rel

Solution 1:

Why don't you do something like:

@OverridepublicbooleanonTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {        

    switch (event.getAction() & MotionEvent.ACTION_MASK) {
        caseMotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:               
            //Do something on action down.caseMotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
            //Do something on action up.break;
        caseMotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
            //Do something when moving.break;
    }   

    returntrue;
}

Hope this helps.

Solution 2:

Adding this to my onCreate fixed the problem.

    webView.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {

        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
           detector.onTouchEvent(event);
            returntrue;
        }
    });
