[android-developers] SimpleOnGestureListener code not working in Android 2.2...

I have some code that I wrote to implement a vertical swipe on a
Gallery widget. It works great in Android 1.5 and 1.6 but does not
work in Android 2.2 (I have yet to try it with 2.1).

public class SwipeUpDetector extends SimpleOnGestureListener
implements OnTouchListener
{
private GestureDetector m_detector;

public SwipeUpDetector()
{
m_detector = new GestureDetector(m_context, this);
}

@Override
public boolean onFling(MotionEvent e1, MotionEvent e2, float
velocityX, float velocityY)
{
if (Math.abs(e1.getX() - e2.getX()) < s_swipeMaxOffPath &&
e1.getY() - e2.getY() >= s_swipeMinDistance &&
Math.abs(velocityY) >= s_swipeMinVelocity)
{
int pos = m_gallery.pointToPosition((int)e1.getX(),
(int)e2.getY());
startAnimation(pos);

return true;
}

return false;
}

@Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event)
{
return m_detector == null ? false : m_detector.onTouchEvent(event);
}
}

And to be able to get my gallery to detect the onFling I have the
following:
m_gallery.setOnTouchListener(new SwipeUpDetector());

In Android 1.5 and 1.6 this works great. In Android 2.2 onFling() is
never called. In looking around on Google and StackOverflow I found
one possible solution was to implement onDown() and return true.

However, I am also listening to single clicks and have a context menu
listener set up on this gallery. When I implement onDown() and return
true I do indeed get the swipe to work. But when I do this the
context menu doesn't display on a long click and the single clicks
don't work either... Clicking on items in the gallery cause the
gallery to jump around and I don't get any feedback when I click on an
item in the gallery. It just immediately makes that item the selected
item and moves it to the center.

I looked at the API differences report between 1.6, 2.1, and 2.2 and
didn't see anthing of significance that could have caused this to
break...

What am I doing wrong?
