How to handle left slide and right slide events

Question

I want to know what events I need to handle when User slides left or right slide on phone.

for Ex: in Phone Logs or Contacts when a User slides left on A name , it starts calling that contact, and when slides right messageing app opens.

I want to know how to do that, A little code snippet will be better.

Thanks

You can use this listener and add your code to onSwipeLeft() and onSwipeRight():

public class OnSwipeTouchListener implements OnTouchListener {

@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
private final GestureDetector gestureDetector = new GestureDetector(new GestureListener());

public boolean onTouch(final View v, final MotionEvent event) {
    return gestureDetector.onTouchEvent(event);
}

private final class GestureListener extends SimpleOnGestureListener {

    private static final int SWIPE_THRESHOLD = 100;
    private static final int SWIPE_VELOCITY_THRESHOLD = 100;

    @Override
    public boolean onDown(MotionEvent e) {
        return true;
    }
    @Override
    public boolean onSingleTapConfirmed(MotionEvent e) {
        onTouch(e);
        return true;
    }


    @Override
    public boolean onFling(MotionEvent e1, MotionEvent e2, float velocityX, float velocityY) {
        boolean result = false;
        try {
            float diffY = e2.getY() - e1.getY();
            float diffX = e2.getX() - e1.getX();
            if (Math.abs(diffX) > Math.abs(diffY)) {
                if (Math.abs(diffX) > SWIPE_THRESHOLD && Math.abs(velocityX) > SWIPE_VELOCITY_THRESHOLD) {
                    if (diffX > 0) {
                        onSwipeRight();
                    } else {
                        onSwipeLeft();
                    }
                }
            } else {
               // onTouch(e);
            }
        } catch (Exception exception) {
            exception.printStackTrace();
        }
        return result;
    }
}


public void onSwipeRight() {
}

public void onSwipeLeft() {
}

public void onSwipeTop() {
}

public void onSwipeBottom() {
}
}
