If you understand how to read touch events, you can check the distance between touch start and current position. If touch end occurs before a minimum distance (your choice) then you can consider it a button click. If it is longer then you can consider it a swipe.

You can also use a directional delta to see the most likely direction intended (vertical or horizontal)

While not a complete answer, I hope this provides some clues to enhance your google-fu...
