Question

I have a list view with custom Adapter,

public class ClueArrayAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String> {

---
----

@Override
  public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
    LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context
        .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
    View rowView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.rowlayout, parent, false);
---
---
return rowView;
}

rowlayout

---

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >
    <TextView 
        android:id="@+id/clue"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        />

     <com.mydomain.MyView 
        android:id="@+id/myView"    // MyView is custom view and overrides onTouchEvent
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        />

</LinearLayout>

I have a onItemLongClickListener

listView.setOnItemLongClickListener(new OnItemLongClickListener() {

            public boolean onItemLongClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
                int position, long id) {
 ---
view.setSelected(true);
}

This listener is getting invoked when there is a long click on TextView but not responding to long click on myView.

Do i need to set some xml attributes of myView in rowlayout so that a row is selected in responce to a long click on myView too ?

on touch of myView

 @Override
        public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {

            final int action = ev.getAction();
            switch (action & MotionEvent.ACTION_MASK) {
                case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN: {
                    final float x = ev.getX();
                    final float y = ev.getY();
                    markedCell = getCellAt(x,y);
                    break;       
                }

            }
            return true;
        }

Answer 1

Return false from your onTouchEvent.
Returning true means that you handled the event and that it shouldn’t be passed to the next handler (in this case, your long touch event).
