Passing touch events to the parent view

Thank you everyone for answering the question. But I was able to figure it out in a much simpler manner. Since my ViewSwitcher wasn’t detecting the touch event, I intercepted the touch event, called the onTouchEvent() and returned false. Here:

@Override
public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev)
{
    onTouchEvent(ev);
    return false;
}

By overriding the onInterceptTouchEvent(), I was able to intercept the touch event in the activity. Then I called the onTouchEvent() in the ViewSwitcher which handles the switching of the ListViews. And finally by returning false, it makes sure that the ViewGroup doesn’t consume the event.
