Question

I have frame layout:

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_margin="10dp" >

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/widgetView"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="center"
    android:layout_margin="10dp"
    android:gravity="center" >
</LinearLayout>

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/widgetOverlayFrame"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:clickable="false" >
</LinearLayout>

First layout contains widget layout, and second one is transparent and receives onLongClick for dragging method.That works, the problem is when i want to interact with widget, to click something, click event is taken by overlayFrame. How can i pass click event trough overlayFrame to widgetView?

EDIT:

Now I’m trying to attach GestureLister to overlayFrame LinearLayout, to somehow see difference between MotionEvent that represent single click and long click. The problem that I’m facing is that OnLongPress in gesture listener is always called whatever I do, single click or long click.

Is there an explanation for this behavior? Tnx!

Instead of using GestureListener you can override the onTouchListener in this way.

This will call longPress when the timer runs out and if an up comes in between it will cancel the LongPress

   CountDownTimer c;
    long time=5000;
    @Override
    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
        switch (ev.getAction()) {
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
                c= new CountDownTimer(5000, 1000) {
                          public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
                                  time=millisUntilFinished;
                           }

                          public void onFinish() {
                                 Log.i("","LONG PRESS");
                           }}.start();

            break;
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
                if (time>0) {
                    Log.i("example","short click");
                    c.cancel();
                }
            break;
        }

        return true;
    }
