Try to use the dispatchTouchEvent() method (http://
developer.android.com/reference/android/app/
Activity.html#dispatchTouchEvent(android.view.MotionEvent) which is
called to process touch screen events.
Your method would look like
static boolean touchingScreen = false;
....
@Override
public boolean dispatchTouchEvent (MotionEvent ev)
{
super.dispatchTouchEvent(ev);
switch (ev.getAction()) {
case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN: {
touchingScreen = true;
//call your method (use an intent to start your
repeating event)
break;
case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
touchingScreen = false; (use an intent to stop your
repeating event)
break;
}
}
Within the ACTION.DOWN (touching the screen) you could call another
method which runs in a different thread.
The thread terminates when touchingScreen = false which means that you
received the ACTION.UP event. Make sure that your loop does not block
the UI.
