On my journey of learning Android Development, I’ve realised that it is really important to understand the input handling especially how the entire touch events framework work. Wrapping your head around the entire propagation of touch events (including the gesture) is imperative else while coding you’ll find yourself stumped by the behaviour of different ViewGroups (or Views) when attaching touch listeners to them with the hope that your code works as expected when they actually won’t. It gets even tricker when you have ViewGroups like ViewPager or ListView (both scrollable) inside other scrollable ViewGroups like ScrollView.
