I am planning to program a button in such a way that when the button is pressed, vibration starts and keeps on vibrating until the finger is up or button is unpressed.
I am using OnTouchListener for this purpose.
My code is as follows:
package com.example.vibrator;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Vibrator;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnTouchListener;
import android.widget.Button;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
final Vibrator vibrator;
vibrator = (Vibrator) getSystemService(MainActivity.VIBRATOR_SERVICE);
Button btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
btn.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
@Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
int action = event.getAction();
if (action == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
vibrator.vibrate(60000);
} else if (action == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
vibrator.cancel();
}
return true;
}
});
}
}
The problem in this code is that it keeps on vibrating and when the finger is up, the vibration does not stop nor cancelled.
P.S. I have used the permission in manifest.
EDIT: corrected code:
try this:
int action = event.getActionMasked();
if (action == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
long[] pattern = { 0, 200, 0 }; //0 to start now, 200 to vibrate 200 ms, 0 to sleep for 0 ms.
vibrator.vibrate(pattern, 0); // 0 to repeat endlessly.
} else if (action == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP || action == MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL) {
vibrator.cancel();
}
