how to disable fling in android gallery

I have a custom gallery in my app and after doing some testing I've decided that I don't want the gallery to navigate with fi开发者_开发技巧nger swipes. I've set up a left and right button to control it instead. Now I want to figure out how to disable the onFling method. I've tried this.setEnabled(false); which didn't work, and tried this.setClickable(false); which didn't work... also my overridden onFling() method has everything except the return(true); commented out.... not sure what else to try! Any ideas??

Thanks :)

A better approach (as described here) is to override the fling method in your custom gallery class:

@Override
public boolean onFling(MotionEvent e1, MotionEvent e2, float velocityX,
                       float velocityY) {        
    return false;
}

Oh, got it!

In my custom gallery class:

@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
    return false;

}

Figured that put from the gallery source code posted here: http://www.devdaily.com/java/jwarehouse/android/core/java/android/widget/Gallery.java.shtml
