How to handle click event on custom view with buttons?

Question

I have a custom view that extends FrameLayout. It also uses a GestureDetector to handle onFling events. The view also contains two buttons and a checkbox, all of which work just fine.

However, I also want to be able to handle a tap or click event on the view itself. The problem is I can't figure out how to let the children buttons have a first go at the event. When I click a button, both the click event of the button and the onSingleTapUp event are triggered. I need the button to essentially consume the click event.

Here's the part of my custom view class that handles the touch events.

 @Override
public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev)
{
    if(mGestureDetector == null)
        mGestureDetector = new GestureDetector(this.getContext(), new MyGestureListener());
    return mGestureDetector.onTouchEvent(ev);
}


@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev)
{
    mGestureDetector.onTouchEvent(ev);
    return true;
}

class MyGestureListener extends SimpleOnGestureListener
{           
    @Override
    public boolean onFling(MotionEvent  e1, MotionEvent  e2, float velocityX, float velocityY)
    {
        if( Math.abs(e1.getY() - e2.getY()) > MAX_SWIPE_OFF_PATH)
            return false;//probably a scroll or move event

        float dx = e1.getX() - e2.getX();               

        //right to left
        if(dx > MIN_SWIPE_LENGTH)
        {
            showButtons();
            return true;
        }
        //left to right
        else if(-dx > MIN_SWIPE_LENGTH)
        {
            hideButtons();
            return true;
        }           
        return false;
    }


    @Override
    public boolean onSingleTapUp(MotionEvent ev)
    {

        toggleExpanded();
        return false;
    }
}

How can I rearrange this so that the events will be handled properly. If there's a better way to handle the tap event for the view than with the GestureDetector please share that as well.
