[android-developers] Re: using long touch to set a seekbar
@Kumar, I implemented that and it works like a charm, thanks for the suggestion! -BB On Oct 12, 5:23 pm, Kumar Bibek coomar@gmail.com wrote: ACTION_CANCEL might help you to exit your custom event.

Actually, upon further review I think I misunderstood key events, I don't think that approach is right at all. It looks like I will need to use touch events.
