[SOLVED] When calling onItemLongClickListener,onItemClickListener also works

When calling onItemLongClickListener,onItemClickListener also works

I have ListView in which onItemClickListener and onLongItemClickListener are used for different options. It works fine in jellybean. But in Nexus5 when I long click on the ListView, both onItemClickListener and onLongItemClickListener are called. Why is this happening? Does anyone know about it?

Solution

You should set the return value of the OnItemLongClickListener to true

private AdapterView.OnItemLongClickListener itemLongClickListener = new AdapterView.OnItemLongClickListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onItemLongClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
        //... Do stuff
        return true;
    }
};

This is how the event tells its parent that the click event has been handled. If it is set to false the OnItemClickListener will also be fired, invoking its listener method as well.
