移动TextView时得到ACTION_CANCEL

Question

The code is as following. I extended a TextView and overrided its onTouchEvent method. I want to move the whole TextView (not the text itself) left and right. The following code sort of works, but it only let me move the TextView about 0.5 centimeters, and than I got a ACTION_CANCEL event. The TextView is 204dp wide. Anyone can give me some clue why this happens? Thank you.

            return true;
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL:
            Log.e("haha","cancel");
            return false;
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_HOVER_MOVE:
            Log.e("haha","hover move");
            return true;

            //}
            //return super.onTouchEvent(event);
        default:
            Log.e("haha","action is " + Integer.toString(event.getAction()));
            return true;
            //break;


    }
    //return super.onTouchEvent(event);
}

}

Got it fixed. My main activity is a ViewPager which is responsible for swipe action. When I move the TextView inside it, the ViewPager takes possession of the event. To fix it, I overrided the ViewPager as described in this question.
