'OnClickListener' is not responding

Question

I am trying to add both OnClickListener and OnTouchListener to my image view. Following is how the image view is created

dialogImage = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.dialogImage);

Following is how the listeners are set

dialogImage.setOnClickListener(dialogBoxClicked);
dialogImage.setOnTouchListener(imageViewSwiped);

Following is the listener method implementation

public OnClickListener dialogBoxClicked = new OnClickListener()
    {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) 
        {
                      //To do has been removed because the code is too big
            }

    };

OnTouchListener imageViewSwiped = new OnSwipeTouchListener()
    {
         public void onSwipeRight() 
         {
             currentlyActiveQuestion++;
             currentWord = words.get(currentlyActiveQuestion);
             setUI();
         }

          public void onSwipeLeft() 
          {
              currentlyActiveQuestion--;
              currentWord = words.get(currentlyActiveQuestion);
              setUI();
          }
    };

Here the OnTouchListener is implemented by a class called OnSwipeTouchListener to monitor left and right swipes. This class can be found here - https://stackoverflow.com/a/12938787/1379286

But the problem now is, when I set the OnTouchListener to the image view, the OnClickListener is not responding / do not do what it should do. ImageView is only responding to OnTouchListener. If I remove OnTouchListener then the OnClickListener works. I tested this in a virtual device WVGA5.1 and Galaxy Nexus in eclipse and not in a real phone because I do not have one.

How can I solve this?

EDIT

Any code example will be greatly appreciated

i think your ontouchlistener overlaps your onclicklistener.. a click an be tantamount to a touch IMO — Francis Fuerte, Jul 16 '13 at 08:15
your touchListener intercept all touch events (typically indicated by the onDown returning true. hence, the click cannot be detected. see @mach answer instead. — njzk2, Jul 16 '13 at 08:19

You may call View.performClick() when action_up. This results in the click event being called when an actual click happens. Hope it helps.

your_txtView.setOnClickListener(new TextView.OnClickListener(){
    public void onClick(View v) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }
});

your_txtView.setOnTouchListener(new TextView.OnTouchListener(){
        @Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
    if (MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN == event.getAction()) {

    } else if (MotionEvent.ACTION_UP == event.getAction()) {
        v.performClick();
    }

    return true;
}
});

OK, is there any possiblility where we can not monitor the actual swiping in a virtual device? – PeakGen Jul 16 '13 at 08:48
@Knight: Could you elaborate. Why don't you want to monitor actual swiping? You are doing something on swiping right? Or I didn't understand you properly. – Ankit Aggarwal Jul 16 '13 at 08:53
No, I mean I followed your advice. Now can do swiping and click. But the problem is, most of the times it get "clicked" when I swipe. Sometimes it get clicked and swiped. So I thought it might be because I am using a virtual device, the mouse pointer is the one which indicates the "finger" – PeakGen Jul 16 '13 at 08:57
Yes, yes that is because of using a virtual device. Run your code on an actual device it will work. – Ankit Aggarwal Jul 16 '13 at 08:58

The OnTouchListener hooks the click-event. Handle the click event in it instead. Check out the answer on this question

From my experience, If you can't have both onTouchListener and onClickListener for the same view. If you want your onClickListener to work, set clickable="true" in the XML.
