Android Custom gallery to disable scrolling

Question

I'm attempting to create a custom Gallery to disable scrolling. I've got the following from this: how to disable gallery view scrolling

 public class MyGallery extends Gallery{


public MyGallery(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    super(context, attrs);
}

@Override
public boolean onFling(MotionEvent e1, MotionEvent e2, float velocityX, float velocityY){
    if (isSelected())
        return true;
    else return super.onFling(e1, e2, velocityX, velocityY);
    }

}

Doesn't seem to be working. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Note the if (isSelected()) clause in example, you might want to omit that and return true unconditionally, completely avoiding inherited implementation.

Overriding onFling prevents flings but doesn't affect regular scrolling, with finger down. To do that, try also overriding onScroll and immediately returning true from there.

If that doesn't work either, you can also override onTouchEvent and filter touch events there.
