Implement swiping page effect using GestureDetector and ViewFlipper

Refer to the exercise "Detect swipe using SimpleOnGestureListener" and "Bi-direction ViewFlipper". It's easy to implement swiping page effect using GestureDetector and ViewFlipper.



Modify the code of the activity from the last exercise "Bi-direction ViewFlipper".
package com.exercise.AndroidViewFlipper;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.GestureDetector;
import android.view.GestureDetector.SimpleOnGestureListener;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.view.animation.Animation;
import android.view.animation.AnimationUtils;
import android.widget.ViewFlipper;

public class AndroidViewFlipperActivity extends Activity {

ViewFlipper page;

Animation animFlipInForeward;
Animation animFlipOutForeward;
Animation animFlipInBackward;
Animation animFlipOutBackward;

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);

page = (ViewFlipper)findViewById(R.id.flipper);

animFlipInForeward = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.flipin);
animFlipOutForeward = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.flipout);
animFlipInBackward = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.flipin_reverse);
animFlipOutBackward = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.flipout_reverse);

}

private void SwipeRight(){
page.setInAnimation(animFlipInBackward);
page.setOutAnimation(animFlipOutBackward);
page.showPrevious();
}

private void SwipeLeft(){
page.setInAnimation(animFlipInForeward);
page.setOutAnimation(animFlipOutForeward);
page.showNext();
}

@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return gestureDetector.onTouchEvent(event);
}

SimpleOnGestureListener simpleOnGestureListener
= new SimpleOnGestureListener(){

@Override
public boolean onFling(MotionEvent e1, MotionEvent e2, float velocityX,
float velocityY) {

float sensitvity = 50;
if((e1.getX() - e2.getX()) > sensitvity){
SwipeLeft();
}else if((e2.getX() - e1.getX()) > sensitvity){
SwipeRight();
}

return true;
}

};

GestureDetector gestureDetector
= new GestureDetector(simpleOnGestureListener);
}


Modify main.xml to remove buttons.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >

<TextView

android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/hello" />

<ViewFlipper

<ImageView

android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher"/>
</LinearLayout>

<LinearLayout
