I already am using a GestureDetector... For some reason I couldn't get it to not show the context menu on long press... But I was using setOnCreateContextMenuListener().
I'll go ahead and give what you suggest a try. I wasn't sure it would work because registerForContextMenu() says it sets the onCreateContextMenuListener() and thought I would have the same problem.
