Looking through the forum, I have seen a few references to programmers wanting to do Sliding Panels, while capturing if the user starts the slide on something besides the Panel. (or for any other reason, wanting to capture a gesture within the current activity, that starts somewhere other than the panel)

Reading the link below, it appears this functionality is built into the API?
http://developer.android.com/resources/articles/gestures.html
If so, how do I enable/use/code this functionality?
If not, I have found a workaround. I use the Gestures.SetOnTouchListener on all current Views (my buttons, my labels, etc...)
But, since I still want to parse when a click event comes through, I have to figure out what the user intent is based on length of time (short and no movement to be considered a click, medium with no movement to be a long_press), then pass the user-intent and call the button_click event, but as far as I can tell, I can't pass the Sender remotely? I can write the code such that I call a button_click event with some other variable.. but wow does this seem anti-intuitive to what I want, which is just to catch swipe events, no matter where they occur, and pass click events to the buttons/views below.
I've tried setting up a transparent panel on top, but can not figure out a method to not-consume the event, if it is just a click. (so that it passes it to a button underneath)
Anyone ever figure this out?
Would the GestureOverlayView even work? (it appears that it would)
