Detecting a long press in Android

I am currently using onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) { } to detect when the user presses my glSurfaceView is there a way to detect when a long click is made.

I'm guessing if I can't find much in the dev docs then it will be some sort of work around method. Something like registering ACTION_DOWN and seeing how long it is before ACTION_UP.

How do you detect long presses on Android using opengl-es?

Solution

  • Try this:

    final GestureDetector gestureDetector = new GestureDetector(new GestureDetector.SimpleOnGestureListener() {
    public void onLongPress(MotionEvent e) {
        Log.e("", "Longpress detected");
    }
});

public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
    return gestureDetector.onTouchEvent(event);
};
