Hey what a cool app! anyway i purchased and wouldn't THINK of refunding, JUST BECAUSE you were nice enough to answer!! :)
but.. why would there be ACTION_SEARCH_LONG_PRESS but no ACTION_MENU_LONG_PRESS? i mean, wouldnt it be more logical for AppSwipe to bind to that, aren't you replacing that default functionality and not google search?
