Heh. Yeah, the update removed certain standard things from happening (like gestures on the touchpad moving focus etc).
What you have to do is implement a gesturerecogniser/listener and implement the necessary fields, like so (don't forget to instantiate/implement/import etc etc etc in the activity)):
private GestureDetector createGestureDetector(Context context) {
GestureDetector gestureDetector = new GestureDetector(context);
//Create a base listener for generic gestures
gestureDetector.setBaseListener( new GestureDetector.BaseListener() {
#Override
public boolean onGesture(Gesture gesture) {
if (gesture == Gesture.TAP) {
// do something on tap
//do ?
return false;
} else if (gesture == Gesture.TWO_TAP) {
// do something on two finger tap
return true;
} else if (gesture == Gesture.LONG_PRESS) {
// do something on long press
if (!showingMenu)
{
openOptionsMenu();
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
} else if (gesture == Gesture.SWIPE_RIGHT) {
// do something on right (forward) swipe
//next slide:
mPosition++;
if (mPosition >= cardArray.size())
{
mPosition = cardArray.size() -1;
}
mGallery.setSelection(mPosition);
return true;
} else if (gesture == Gesture.SWIPE_LEFT) {
// do something on left (backwards) swipe
//previous slide:
mPosition--;
if (mPosition < 0)
{
mPosition = 0;
}
mGallery.setSelection(mPosition);
return true;
}
return false;
}
});
gestureDetector.setFingerListener(new GestureDetector.FingerListener() {
#Override
public void onFingerCountChanged(int previousCount, int currentCount) {
// do something on finger count changes
}
});
/*gestureDetector.setScrollListener(new GestureDetector.ScrollListener() {
#Override
public boolean onScroll(float displacement, float delta, float velocity) {
// do something on scrolling
if (delta > 5.0f)
{
//scroll forwards:
//
}
else if (delta < -5.0f)
{
//scroll backwards:
//
}
return false;
}
});*/
return gestureDetector;
}
/*
* Send generic motion events to the gesture detector
*/
#Override
public boolean onGenericMotionEvent(MotionEvent event) {
if (mGestureDetector != null) {
return mGestureDetector.onMotionEvent(event);
}
return false;
}

I replaced my Viewpager with CardScrollView and it is pretty fast as well.
Do try that out.
