How do I attach an onTouch Event to the button?

TestDebugingActivity.java

package com.example.debuggingTest;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnTouchListener;
import android.widget.*;

public class TestDebugingActivity extends Activity {


/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);


    TextView tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);
    tv.setOnTouchListener((OnTouchListener) this);


    setContentView(R.layout.linear);
  }


}

Answer 1

tv.setOnTouchListener((OnTouchListener) this); is invalid currently because your this is not an OnTouchListener and it does not implement the OnTouchListener interface either.

There are multiple ways this can be solved. An easy way (not necessarily best) is to have your activity implement OnTouchListener. To do that, you’ll need to declare it and you’ll need to add a single method:

@Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return false; // (false: let the event bubble up; true: you handled it)
}
