Android : Android OnTouchListener Does Not Work

It's simple. The OnTouchListener does not work at all.

I'm fairly certain it's being initialized. I'm using a custom view to draw my UI, and as usual, I'm being impeded by Android's touchy API:

public class ViewInterface extends View implements OnTouchListener{

public ViewInterface(Context context){
    super(context);

    ...
}

public void update(){
    ...
}

@Override
public void onDraw(Canvas canvas){
    ...
}

@Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
    switch(event.getAction()){
    case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
        keyboardEnabled = true;
        return true;
    case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
        keyboardEnabled = false;
        return true;
    default: break;
    }

    return false;
}

Code for initializing the view in the main activity:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

    //setContentView(R.layout.activity_aidan);
    activity = this;

    viewInterface = new ViewInterface(this);
    setContentView(viewInterface);

    initializeSpeechRecognition();
    findMe();

    run.start();
}

What am I missing? Upon touching the screen and holding it, keyboardEnabled should be set to true (its just a debug value) - yet it does not do anything. The touch events don't seem to be responding at all.
