Android: sliding views upwards with finger

I have a View defined in an XML, what I want is to let the user slide the view up and return if it doesn't go up half of the bar. But I don't find any links that help on Google search after some time of Googling. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

For moving a view with finger you can use the following idea: detect touches when user moves his finger and move the view according to the shift.

GestureDetector gestureDetector = new GestureDetector(context, 
  new GestureDetector.SimpleOnGestureListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onScroll(MotionEvent start, MotionEvent event, float distanceX, float distanceY) {
        view.setTranslationY(event.getY()-start.getY());
        return true;
    }
});

view.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent event) {
        gestureDetector.onTouchEvent(event);  // here we pass events to detector above
        return false;
    }
});

If you want to return the view to initial position when user stops sliding, in onTouch (see above) write this:

if(event.getActionMasked()==MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
    view.setTranslationY(0);
}
