You can do this by override touchEvent like this :

@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent e) {

float x = e.getX();
float y = e.getY();

    switch (e.getAction()) {
    case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
        mIsDown = true;
        break;
    case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:

        float dx = x - mPreviousX;
        float dy = y - mPreviousY;

        // Here you can try to detect the swipe. It will be necessary to
        // store more than the previous value to check that the user move constantly in the same direction
        detectSwipe(dx, dy);

    case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
        mIsDown = false;
        break;
}

mPreviousX = x;
mPreviousY = y;
return true;}
