OnTouchListener doesn't work with relative layout

Question

I have a RelativeLayout in which I am adding many TextViews dynamically. The problem I am facing is, whenever I apply an onTouch listener to TextViews individually, it detects touches but when i add touch to my relative layout, it never responds.

This code detects touch events just fine:

TextView tv = new TextView(this);
tv.setText(values[i]);
Drawable d = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.level_small_corners);

tv.setClickable(true);
tv.setId(i+1);
tv.setTextSize(18);
tv.setOnTouchListener(cellTouch);

But when I add all these TextViews in myRelativeLayout:

myRelativeLayout.setOnTouchListener(cellTouch);

Now, the onTouchListener never gets called. Why is that so?

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <RelativeLayout
     xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
     android:layout_width="fill_parent"
     android:layout_height="fill_parent"
     android:background="@android:color/black">
    .
    .
    .

    <ScrollView 
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"  
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@+id/levelFirstLayout"
        android:layout_marginBottom="70dp" > 

        <RelativeLayou
            android:id="@+id/wordsRelativeLayout"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:clickable="true"
            android:focusable="true"
            android:focusableInTouchMode="true" >

        </RelativeLayout>

    </ScrollView> 
    .
    .
    .
</RelativeLayout>

Answer 1

In myRelativeLayout.xml add:

android:clickable="true"
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"

Answer 2

This worked for me:

yourRelativeLayout.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {  
    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View arg0, MotionEvent arg1) {
        //gesture detector to detect swipe.
        gestureDetector.onTouchEvent(arg1);
        return true;//always return true to consume event
    }
});
