Android Question Activity.ACTION_UP event.

[pantaraf]

Hi,
I'm trying to deal with panel sliding, using the code from SlidingPanels. I've removed the left and right buttons.

Sub Panels_Touch (Action As Int, X As Float, Y As Float)
    Select Action
        Case Activity.ACTION_DOWN
            startX = X
            startY = Y
        Case Activity.ACTION_UP
            If Abs(Y - startY) > 20%y Then Return
            If X - startX > 30%x  Then 'AND btnRight.Enabled = True
                ChangePanel(False)
            Else If startX - X > 30%x  Then 'AND btnLeft.Enabled =
                ChangePanel(True)
            End If
    End Select
End Sub

Each panel has a sub that recalls the above one.

Sub pnl201L_Touch (Action As Int, X As Float, Y As Float)
   Panels_Touch (Action, X, Y)
End Sub

On a device (eeePad) the ACTION_UP event is hard to fire up. No way how hard or fast I swipe the screen, it just doesn't fire up or it seem to be random, the same gesture fires the event 1 time out of 10. The sliding panels are loaded into a ScrollView and then loaded with different layouts.
I have some questions to understand better how and when the ACTION_UP event rises.
1)Does the ACTION_UP event rise when the finger leaves the screen?
2)If I start the swipe touch on the "listening" panel but I end the gesture on a not "listening" view (i.e. a label), is the ACTION_UP event fired? Or does the label consume (hide) the event?
3)I've looked for docs but I couldn't find it in deep. Am I missing something?
4)looking over the forum I've found the interesting Gesture Detector lib. Is it a better way to deal with sliding views?

Thank you in advance!
Raffaele

I'm trying to figure out if AHViewPager it the solution. I'll keep updating this thread.

You should either use AHViewPager or StdActionBar library which also supports a view pager.
