Hmm. I once had an activity with a single listview, where I re-populated the adapter as a result of fling gestures. I did it by implementing the dispatchTouchEvent method of the activity.
As commented by adamp, this behaviour is intentional and does not need to be fought. I applied the gesture listener to the children elements.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
