How to make a button execute when we swipe over it ? (In android studio)

Question

I am trying to make a button that will execute when we swipe over it. (using java in android studio). just like we can do it on the keys of a piano app. How can I do that?

Answer 1

You might be looking to implement the onFling() method:

• Drag: Fine gesture, slower, more controlled, typically has an on-screen target
• Swipe: Gross gesture, faster, typically has no on-screen target
• Fling: Gross gesture, with no on-screen target
