Thanks for the quick reply. I was mistaken in my original post. I am indeed getting ACTION_UP events as soon as my finger leaves the screen while I am dragging on the ADP1. Therefore, that is good enough to solve my problem. Strange that I am not getting ACTION_CANCEL as you said. My preference is to receive ACTION_UP events (as I am currently getting) when the finger leaves the screen, so great!
