setOnTouchListener is not working for android Fragment

Question

I am using TabView and in it, I am using Fragment to load each tab. I want to get the Touch event when the user touches any of the fragments.

Fragment Code

 public MobileBankingFragment() {
    // Required empty public constructor
}


@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                         Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    context = (FragmentActivity) super.getActivity();
    view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_mobile_banking, container, false);
    alarm = new TimerReceiver();
    init(view);
    touchListener(view);
    return view;
}

private void touchListener(View view) {
    layout= (FrameLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.fragmentMobileBanking);
    layout.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
            Toast.makeText(context, "you just touch the screen :-)", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            return true;
        }
    });


    view.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
            Toast.makeText(context, "you just touch the screen :-)", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            startTheTimerForTenSecond();
            return true;
        }
    });
}

Here I try to get the touch event in two ways, one by event, another by the id of the layout, but I have had no luck. This code gives no errors, but no output either.

It works on me:

public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_take_attendance, container, false);
    touchListener(view);
    ..
}
 private void touchListener(View view) {
        view.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
                if (event.getActionMasked() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN){
                    Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "you just touch the screen :-)", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
                return true;
            }
        });
    }

It listens when you touch whole fragment

You have to subclass ViewPager and override interceptTouchEvent() and onTouchEvent() to distinguish swipe gestures from touch fragment event. https://developer.android.com/training/gestures/viewgroup.html
