Adding Fling Gesture to an image view - Android

Okay I have been referencing the code here: Fling gesture detection on grid layout

but just can not get it to work. In my main activity I have a simple image defined. I want to detect a fling on the image. Here is my code below. The onclick method at the bottom is empty. Is it because of this? I left it blank because in the other code sample its not what I want. I just want a simple toast to pop up saying fling right or fling left.

public class GestureRightLeft extends Activity implements OnClickListener  {

    ImageView peek;

    private static final int SWIPE_MIN_DISTANCE = 120;
    private static final int SWIPE_MAX_OFF_PATH = 250;
    private static final int SWIPE_THRESHOLD_VELOCITY = 200;
    private GestureDetector gestureDetector;
    View.OnTouchListener gestureListener;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        peek =(ImageView) findViewById(R.id.peek);
        peek.setImageResource(R.drawable.bluestrip);

        gestureDetector = new GestureDetector(new MyGestureDetector());
        gestureListener = new View.OnTouchListener() {
            public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
                if (gestureDetector.onTouchEvent(event)) {
                    return true;
                }
                return false;
            }
        };
    }

    class MyGestureDetector extends SimpleOnGestureListener {
        @Override
        public boolean onFling(MotionEvent e1, MotionEvent e2, float velocityX, float velocityY) {
            try {
                if (Math.abs(e1.getY() - e2.getY()) > SWIPE_MAX_OFF_PATH)
                    return false;
                // right to left swipe
                if(e1.getX() - e2.getX() > SWIPE_MIN_DISTANCE && Math.abs(velocityX) > SWIPE_THRESHOLD_VELOC
