Question

As said in the title, I have a scrollview that should be listening for longclicks, but isn’t catching any. Nothing happens when I hold the scrollview- no logs, no haptic feedback, & no dialog.

Thanks in advance!

JAVA:

...
ScrollView text_sv = (ScrollView) findViewById(R.id.text_sv);
    text_sv.setOnLongClickListener(new OnLongClickListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onLongClick(View v) {

            MMMLogs.i("click", "long-click recognized");

            AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(_this);

            builder
            .setTitle(name)
            .setMessage(DHMenuStorage.notification)
            .setCancelable(false)
            .setNegativeButton("Close", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                    dialog.cancel();
                }
            });
            AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
            alert.show();

            return true;
        }

    });
...

Answer 1

Well I never identified the exact source of my problem, but I suspect it is some sort of conflict with the listeners that the scrollview requires for its own scrolling.

I worked around this problem by setting the exact same listener on the linearlayout instead of the scrollview. Simple. Hope it helps!
