Question

In my app i let the user select one image from the media gallery. To do this i use the Intent.ACTION_PICK.
Like

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
intent.setType("image/*");
startActivityForResult(intent, IMAGE_PICK);

The app works mostly fine, the users can select an image and the uri correctly.

The matter is in the gallery. If the user does a tap on an image all goes well, image is selected and uri returned.
But if the user does a long click on an image, be it accident or on purpose, the phone vibrates a split sec, the image is focused, and then nothing happens.
I understand on the formal gallery app this brings up a menu, but in this case it does nothing, and it can be confusing to users, to think they tapped and see the app do nothing.

So the question is, can i do anything to change the behavior of the long click in that screen? Like override the onLongClick or set an onLongClickListener or something?

Thanks in advance, best regards.

Yes you can do both, onLongClick is the method and onLongClickListener is the callback for that method.
