/** 
 * Implement this method to intercept all touch screen motion events. This 
 * allows you to watch events as they are dispatched to your children, and 
 * take ownership of the current gesture at any point. 
 * 
 * <p>Using this function takes some care, as it has a fairly complicated 
 * interaction with {@link View#onTouchEvent(MotionEvent) 
 * View.onTouchEvent(MotionEvent)}, and using it requires implementing 
 * that method as well as this one in the correct way. Events will be 
 * received in the following order: 
 * 
 * <ol> 
 * <li> You will receive the down event here. 
 * <li> The down event will be handled either by a child of this view 
 * group, or given to your own onTouchEvent() method to handle; this means 
 * you should implement onTouchEvent() to return true, so you will 
 * continue to see the rest of the gesture (instead of looking for 
 * a parent view to handle it). Also, by returning true from 
 * onTouchEvent(), you will not receive any following 
 * events in onInterceptTouchEvent() and all touch processing must 
 * happen in onTouchEvent() like normal. 
 * <li> For as long as you return false from this function, each following 
 * event (up to and including the final up) will be delivered first here 
 * and then to the target's onTouchEvent(). 
 * <li> If you return true from here, you will not receive any 
 * following events: the target view will receive the same event but 
 * with the action {@link MotionEvent#ACTION_CANCEL}, and all further 
 * events will be delivered to your onTouchEvent() method and no longer 
 * appear here. 
 * </ol> 
 * 
 * @param ev The motion event being dispatched down the hierarchy. 
 * @return Return true to steal motion events from the children and have 
 * them dispatched to this ViewGroup through onTouchEvent(). 
 * The current target will receive an ACTION_CANCEL event, and no further 
 * messages will be delivered here.
