title: Fling Gesture and Webview in Android
body: <p>I have a webview control that needs to support the fling gesture in Android in order to bring up a new record (load new data). This is occuring in a class that extends Activity. All the examples I've seen show how to implement gesture support for a textview, but nothing for webview.</p>
  
  <p>I need to execute different actions for both left and right flings. Any code help would be appreciated as this totally has me stumped.</p>
  
  <p>Here's my basic onCreate and my class</p>
  
  <pre><code>import android.app.Activity;
  import android.content.Intent;
  import android.database.Cursor;
  import android.database.SQLException;
  import android.os.Bundle;
  import android.text.Html;
  import android.view.Menu;
  import android.view.MenuItem;
  import android.view.View;
  import android.view.Window;
  
  import android.webkit.WebView;
  
  public class ArticleActivity extends Activity   {
  
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  
  
  
      Window  w = getWindow();
  
       w.requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_LEFT_ICON);
  
       WebView webview = new WebView(this);
       setContentView(webview); 
  
  
  
       w.setFeatureDrawableResource(Window.FEATURE_LEFT_ICON,
       R.drawable.gq);
  
  
  
  
      setDefaultKeyMode(DEFAULT_KEYS_SEARCH_LOCAL);
      populateFields();
      webview.loadData(question + answer, "text/html", "utf-8");
  
  
  
    //   
  }
  private void populateFields() {
  
  ....
  
  
  }
  
  }
  </code></pre>
