I need to be able to tell when the user is holding a button down and when the user lets go. This is different from onClickListener and onLongClickListener. How would i go about doing something like this?
For example I press a button that starts a chronometer.(pseudo code)
if ButtonIsBeingPressed
{
chronometer start(); //and keep going
}
else chronometer stop();
//or on release or something
}
Look into the OnTouchListener it has MotionEvents for Down (press) and Up (release):
view.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
@Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
switch(event.getAction()) {
case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
// Start
break;
case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
// End
break;
}
return false;
}
});
