Hi,
May be this is a late answer !
Never mind, as I went through this problem, I post here the solution I
found.
As the ACTION_DOWN is called only once while the user is pressing the
screen, the idea is to post a delayed event to detected the long press
What I've done :
At the beginning of the class extending View :
final Handler handler = new Handler();
Runnable mLongPressed = new Runnable() {
public void run() { if (downMode) mAct.openContextMenu
(ObjectView.this); } // To open the context menu
};
In the callback :
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent e) {
switch(e.getAction()) {
case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
handler.postDelayed(mLongPressed, 1500); //LongPressed
after
1,5s
downMode = true;
In the other modes such as ACTION_MOVE and ACTION_UP, I reset the
downMode boolean to false. So when the delay expires, if the user is
still pressing the screen, downMode is true and I show the context
menu
Hope this helps a bit !
