Question

i’ve been searching the web but i find no answer to my question. I have a button, when you press it, it will play a sound. The problem is that when you touch a button on the screen it goes to the onClickListener() only after the button have been released. I need it to run the listener when the button is pressed not when it’s released, because this cause a delay when playing the sound. I tried onTouchListener() and it didn’t work either, because the sound get’s played every time i move the finger over the button. I tried onKeyDown() but it won’t work for screen buttons. Any ideas? Some help will be appreciated.

Thanks

You can use OnTouchListener and test the event action:

public boolean onTouch (View v, MotionEvent event) {
  if (event.getAction () == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) { // ...
  }
}
