I've created a ListView that has an EditText in each row. The ListView also allows the user to delete an item in the list by swiping horizontally using SwipeDismissListViewTouchListener.java from https://github.com/romannurik/Android-SwipeToDismiss.
Both functionality work well, except when the user tries to do the swiping gesture with the initial ACTION_DOWN event occurring over the EditText. It looks like the EditText is consuming the ACTION_DOWN event before it can be passed to the SwipeDismissListViewTouchListener, which needs the ACTION_DOWN event to initialize the gesture.
Question:
How can I get the SwipeDismissListViewTouchListener to work when the swipe gesture is initiated on the EditText?
