Question

In android, is it possible for me to register a long click listener on a seekbar?

I have done this:

mySeekBar.setLongClickable(true);
mySeekBar.setOnLongClickListener(new OnLongClickListener() {
   public boolean onLongClick (View v) {
    Log.d("TEST", "Get a long click event!!!!!!!!!!!!");
 }
});

But I don’t see my debug print statement at all. Any idea about how can I achieve it?

Thank you.

AFAICT this is not possible to do with the OnLongClickListener. The documentation doesn’t say it won’t work, but I’ve never seen any example of this (and I never got it to work myself either).

A possible workaround (depending on what you want to achieve) could be to use the OnSeekBarChangeListener handling the long click through onStartTrackingTouch / onStopTrackingTouch callbacks.
