Swipe listeners in Android

Is there something like onLeftSwipeListener and 开发者_JS百科onRightSwipeListener in Android? I want to switch views swiping finger back and forward. I use a FrameLayout and an ImageView inside inside of it.

Its called GestureDetector and SimpleOnGestureListener which has onFling(). Its called fling and not swipe in this context :)

yourView.setOnTouchListner(onThumbTouch );

    OnTouchListener onThumbTouch = new OnTouchListener() {
            float previouspoint = 0 ;
            float startPoint=0;
            @Override
            public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {   
                switch(v.getId()) {
                    case R.id.tvDetailsalaujairiyat: // Give your R.id.sample ...
                        switch(event.getAction()){
                            case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
                                startPoint=event.getX();
                                System.out.println("Action down,..."+event.getX());
                            break;
                            case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:

                            break;
                            case MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL:
                                previouspoint=event.getX();
                                if(previouspoint > startPoint){
                                   //Right side swipe        
                                }else{
                                   // Left side swipe
                                }        
                            break;
                       }
                    break;
                }
                return true;
            }
        };

i have made a small example of swiper in android i would like share the code with you.

Chek this.

Here's a related quetion about implementing gestures detection:

Fling gesture detection on grid layout

You could also use a ViewFlipper with some animation to switch between the views, it looks good, here's an example implementation for enabling left/right swipe on a viewflipper:
