scrolling within grid view

Question

I have a set of images. I am displaying it on the screen as a grid. So based upon selecting each image i want to do actions. That I have done. But one more requirement is that when we move our hand through these images then also I have to perform the same actions. That is, I will have to track on which image I have touched right now and perform the actions. How will I implement it? Does anyone have any idea? Please respond..

this is a grid view. So I used ItemClickListener for doing that.. — Anju, Feb 02 '11 at 04:25

Try onTouch() event From View.OnTouchListener. This is called when the user performs an action qualified as a touch event, including a press, a release, or any movement gesture on the screen (within the bounds of the item).

Hope this helps.

You can set listeners to your images, i.e.

imgView.setOnTouchListener(...)
imgView.setOnFocusChangeListener(...)

or

imgView.setOnClickListener()

and then perform the action in these listeners.

If you use setOnFocusChangeListener, then you should be able to handle all cases regardless in which way you selected the image, via touch or trackball.

@Mathew: why to the grid? Why not to the imageviews itself? Makes more sense to me... btw: also see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/738817/create-a-clickable-image-in-a-gridview-in-android – Mathias Conradt Feb 02 '11 at 06:06

I got it done.

In the below code colorGV is my grid name. Add listener to it.

colorGV.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchClick(context));

And define onTouchClick as:

private class OnTouchClick implements OnTouchListener {

        Context context;

        OnTouchClick(Context context) {
            this.context = context;
        }

        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
            try {

                if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE) {
                    int x = (int) event.getX();
                    int y = (int) event.getY();

                    int position = -1;
                    for (int i = 0; i < colorGV.getChildCount(); i++) {
                        Rect ButtonRect = new Rect();
                        colorGV.getChildAt(i).getHitRect(ButtonRect);
                        if (ButtonRect.contains(x, y)) {
                            position = i;
                            break;
                        }    
                    }

                    if (position >= 0 && prevPos != position) {
                        System.out.println("Position changed :" + position);
                        return true;
                    }
                }
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            return false;
        }
    }
