Replacing the obsolete GestureDetector constructor

Question

So, I have a GestureDetector, but it all shows the "Deprecated Constructor" in Eclipse ..

I use it to detect flings, and it works fine, but I cannot find a parallel constructor. All this is out of date. What am I going to?

Anyway, here is the code:

mGestureDetector = new GestureDetector(
            new GestureDetector.SimpleOnGestureListener() {
                @Override
                public boolean onDown(MotionEvent e) {
                    return true;
                }

                @Override
                public boolean onFling(MotionEvent e1, MotionEvent e2,
                        float velocityX, float velocityY) {
                    // Roll the ball in the direction of the fling
                    Direction mCommandedRollDirection = Direction.NONE;

                    if (Math.abs(velocityX) > Math.abs(velocityY)) {
                        if (velocityX < 0)
                            mCommandedRollDirection = Direction.LEFT;


                    else
                                mCommandedRollDirection = Direction.RIGHT;
                        } else {
                            if (velocityY < 0)
                                mCommandedRollDirection = Direction.UP;
                            else
                                mCommandedRollDirection = Direction.DOWN;
                        }

                        if (mCommandedRollDirection != Direction.NONE) {
                            mGameEngine.rollBall(mCommandedRollDirection);
                        }

                        return true;
                    }
                });
        mGestureDetector.setIsLongpressEnabled(false);
    }

Clearly, I need the same functionality. So, what new features do I need to add (if any) and which constructor do I need to use?

(Yes, I know about Android dev docs, but, as I said, I have problems finding a newer version of what is called the "GestureDetector")

Thanks!
