Hi SumiGhosh,

Are you taking abut touch swipe or anything else?

Yes - TouchGesture.SWIPE

go through this link:

http://www.blackberry.com/developers/docs/5.0.0api/net/rim/device/api/ui/TouchGesture.html

and you can use this small code also:

protected boolean touchEvent(TouchEvent message) {
switch(message.getEvent()) {
case TouchEvent.GESTURE:
TouchGesture gesture = message.getGesture();
switch(gesture.getEvent()) {
case TouchGesture.SWIPE:
if(gesture.getSwipeDirection() == TouchGesture.SWIPE_EAST) {
Dialog.alert("Eastward swipe occurred");
return true;
} else if(gesture.getSwipeDirection() == TouchGesture.SWIPE_WEST) {
Dialog.alert("Westward swipe occurred");
return true;
}
}
}
return super.touchEvent(message);
}
