I am confused about what I should use to listen for the event of sliding the finger across views and selecting those views. Is this a hover event? Android doc says The hover may be generated via exploring the screen by touch or via a pointing device. Or should I rather try to pull this off using just the onTouch events?

Linked the documentation page. It isn't an anchor link. Hover is described in the EXPLORATION TYPES section. – Limbo Exile Nov 24 '12 at 17:40

the hover event is for devices with a pointing device. Examples are the Transformer Prime which has a keyboard with a mouse. Or the Samsung Note devices, with a stylus. You can use the stylus to hover (e.g. holding the pen above the screen, without touching) buttons/textviews etc etc.
When actually touching the device with a finger, your buttons will go to the pressed, selected or focussed states... Good luck

Thanks for clearing this out. Can I have some hints on how to highlight multiple elements in one touch of finger sliding over them? – Limbo Exile Nov 24 '12 at 20:15

you can put your items in a ViewGroup. Also lots of similar questions e.g.: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5344666/how-to-synchronize-the-drawable-state-of-two-views – Entreco Nov 25 '12 at 13:48
