Android Question Need a very, very basic swipe... ? [Solved]

[Todd Carlton]

Hello everybody!

My app currently has a left Arrow ("<") and a right arrow (">") to go between images.

I am looking for a very basic swipe. If the user swipes ANYWHERE on the screen from the right to the left, the right arrow routine fires. If the users ANYWHERE on the screen from the left to the right, the left arrow routine fires.

I don't need any fancy animation or specific screen positioning. Just swipe detection.

There are a LOT of really neat swipe routines out there and I have pulled my hair out trying to distill them to their core.

Can somebody please link me to where I should be readying for something very, very basic? My app's goal is utility, not refined.

Thanks for any documentation links or suggestions.

The GestureDetector library proved to be both very powerful and very simple to implement.
