Question

I want to capture two events from a relativeLayout. When the user clicks it and when the user releases his click (like mousedown/mouseup)

    rl.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
            //
        }
    });

I tried setting up something like:

            if(event == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {

            }

But eclipse just throws an error about an incompatible operand type. Anyone who knows how to do this?

Answer 1

Try…

if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
    ...
}
