How to differentiate gesture and click?

Question

I need to implement logic for panning surface and be able to click on it to place image, but when I'm trying to add gesture detector as simple as:

public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
    if (gestureDetector.onTouchEvent(event)) {
        return true;
    } else {
        return super.onTouchEvent(event);
    }
}

And when I'm starting gesture, image being placed on screen. Please help.

Yes, thankyou, it help. I just missed that thing that click event is followed by gesture if I'm returning false as a gesture result. – acm0x May 26 '11 at 16:30
Interesting thing, that setOnClickListener() is required even if there's no logic in it (I've moved all logic to onSingleTapUp() – acm0x May 26 '11 at 16:40

As Hyperboreus said, use the GestureDetector.OnGestureListener interface which you associate to your GestureDetector instance. No need then to associate a click listener to your view and a touch listener. Specifically, use the GestureDetector.OnGestureListener.onSingleTapUp(MotionEvent) method for detecting clicks, the GestureDetector.OnGestureListener.onFling(MotionEvent, MotionEvent, float, float) method for detecting flings, and so on and so forth.

Remember to return true in your implementation of the GestureDetector.OnGestureListener.onDown(MotionEvent) method.

Use the classes and interfaces from android.gesture, especially OnGestureListener. The OS takes of care of recognizing gestures.
