    copied!<p>I am trying to implement swiping between pages on my Application. I currently have 5 XML layout files which I access all from one Activity. There are five buttons on the bottom which represent each layout and when pressed switch to the corresponding XML layout.</p> <p>I have tried to implement swiping using <code>OnGestureListener</code>, but it does not work as I would like it to. I need to swipe the <code>Title</code> of the view for the swiping to work. It does not work when I swipe across any of the Views shown in the layout. </p> <p>I began looking and found the <code>GestureOverlayView</code>, which seems to be what I want. However, all of implementations I've found give me problems. <a href="http://www.vogella.com/articles/AndroidGestures/article.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Tutorial</a>, <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5434258/using-a-gesture-overlay-view-in-android">Similar SO question</a>. </p> <p>This is the code that I have so far:</p> <pre><code>public class Monitor extends Activity implements android.view.GestureDetector.OnGestureListener, OnGesturePerformedListener { private GestureDetector gestureScanner; private GestureOverlayView gestures; private static final int SWIPE_MIN_DISTANCE = 50; private static final int SWIPE_THRESHOLD_VELOCITY = 50; private GestureLibrary gestureLib; public void onCreate( Bundle savedInstanceState ) { super.onCreate( savedInstanceState ); gestures = new GestureOverlayView(this); View inflate = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.main, null); gestures.addView(inflate); gestures.addOnGesturePerformedListener(this); gestureLib = GestureLibraries.fromRawResource(this, R.raw.gestures); // Error here if (!gestureLib.load()) { finish(); } setContentView(gestures); } </code></pre> <p>I get an error on the line <code>gestureLib = GestureLibraries.fromRawResource();</code>. The error is <code>raw cannot be resolved or is not a field.</code>. There is no <code>raw</code> folder in my <code>/project-name/res/</code> directory. Any ideas? Is there another way to do this?</p> <p>This is how I first implemented the swiping capability, which only worked across the title bar. </p> <pre><code>public class Monitor extends Activity implements android.view.GestureDetector.OnGestureListener { private GestureDetector gestureScanner; private static final int SWIPE_MIN_DISTANCE = 50; private static final int SWIPE_THRESHOLD_VELOCITY = 50; public void onCreate( Bundle savedInstanceState ) { super.onCreate( savedInstanceState ); gestureScanner = new GestureDetector(this); setContentView( R.layout.monitor ); } @Override public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) { Log.i( "TouchEvent", "Here" ); return gestureScanner.onTouchEvent(event); } public boolean onFling(MotionEvent e1, MotionEvent e2, float velocityX, float velocityY) { if (e2.getX() - e1.getX() &gt; SWIPE_MIN_DISTANCE &amp;&amp; Math.abs(velocityX) &gt; SWIPE_THRESHOLD_VELOCITY ) { Log.i( "OnFling", "Right" ); //ur code goes here. if( getTitle().equals( getString( R.string.main_analogs ) ) ) { setContentView( R.layout.monitor ); setTitle( R.string.main_monitor ); buildButtons(); if( hasRead ) { updateMonitorForm(); } } } /* on scroll to the previous page */ else if (e1.getX() - e2.getX() &gt; SWIPE_MIN_DISTANCE &amp;&amp; Math.abs(velocityX) &gt; SWIPE_THRESHOLD_VELOCITY ) { Log.i( "OnFling", "Left" ); //Ur code goes here if( getTitle().equals( getString( R.string.main_monitor ) ) ) { setContentView( R.layout.analogs ); setTitle( R.string.main_analogs ); buildButtons(); if( hasRead ) { updateMonitorForm(); } } } return false; } </code></pre>
