Sure. Or a member in the Activity that you then set on the ImageViews.
private mTouchListener = new OnTouchListener() { /* CODE */ }
...
imageView1.setOnTouchListener(mTouchListener);
imageView2.setOnTouchListener(mTouchListener);
imageView3.setOnTouchListener(mTouchListener);
imageView4.setOnTouchListener(mTouchListener);
Then you're still within the scope of the Activity which is usually handy.
I think,... and yes it is a mess because in the main Activity is where at
least I was able to make the user click on the images and swap them with
another one while I tried the same from the view it did not work... it just
shows a black screen, and I tried to look it up in the LogCat but did not
tell me something that i would pick up right away.
Yeah, graphics stuff is always a pain to debug and there's not much anyone
can do to help with graphical issues like that.
Just on the side note.., I am new to android, at least give me that,...

Hardly. I know what I need to know to do what I need to do. And I know where
to look when I have to learn something new. ;-)
Again, no offense, just going off what you said and the code you posted.

Unless you feel like rooting the phone which will void your warranty you will not be able to download whatever apps you want unless they are from the Market app. I am very disappointed in ATT. I also owned a Moto Backflip before I yelled enough they game me the HTC.

I would recommend the Captivate.

If it's okay to say it now... it is rootable (legally I suppose as things are now...) and I'm quite happy with it. The driver setup, however, to get it hooked up to my computer was a tad difficult... but it is the one and only Android device worth getting on ATT.

Re: [android-developers] Re: New to android finally leaving Windows !!!
You really need at least two devices for testing. High-end 2.1+ devices and a pre-2.0 device. I find that the emulator does a good job of matching pre-2.0 device behavior but you can get really burned trusting the emulator to behave the same for the later devices. I've found differences between the emulator and the device, in everything from NPE's being thrown on the device to completely different layouts in the UI.
