[android-developers] Recognizing Motion Event

i have an application which has the following layout.

a b c d e 

f g h i j  

and one string,.say str

and i am implementing ontouchlistener and using ontouch(View V,MotionEvent M)

my task is to achieve when a button  say 'c' is touched the str set to  "down c". it is done by using ACTION_DOWN recognition .

But after that  before the ACTION_UP event , if the user slides to 'd' then it should be recognized. and str should set to "b down".

i am not getting by what methods or events i can achieve this. whether i need to use keyevent, hoverevents or touchevents 

i am not getting the answer . and i am in a really need of it. i have posted my code. SO someone please give me an idea of how to solve this.

for (int i = 0; i < mybtn.length; i++) 
   {

            String btnid = "btn" + i;
 
            int resid = getResources().getIdentifier(btnid, "id",
                     getPackageName());

            mybtn[i] = (Button) findViewById(resid);
 
            mybtn[i].setOnTouchListener(this);
 

   }

 
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) 
 {

        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        String s = null;
 
        s = ((Button) v).getText().toString().trim();
 

        switch (event.getAction()) {
         // case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
        // Do some stuff
        // et.setText("move android"+s, TextView.BufferType.EDITABLE );
         // break;

        case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
             current = Integer.valueOf(s);
             et.setText("down android" + s, TextView.BufferType.EDITABLE);
             // Do some stuff
            break;
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
             et.setText("up android" + s, TextView.BufferType.EDITABLE);
             break;
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
             if (current != Integer.valueOf(s)) {
                 current = Integer.valueOf(s);
             }
            break;

        }
 
        return false;
    }

}
