In our Pong game, we will have no UI buttons, and therefore cannot use the OnCLickListener interface and override the onClick method. This is not a problem, however. We will just use another interface to suit our situation. We will use OnTouchListener and override the onTouchEvent method. It works a little bit differently, so let's take a look before we dive into the game code.
