Android: long click on a button -> perform actions

Question

I want to use the same button to perform 2 different methods. One method when user single clicks it and a second method (different) when the user LONG clicks it.

I use this for the single short click (which works great):

Button downSelected = (Button) findViewById(R.id.downSelected);
        downSelected.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View v) {
                method();
                }
            }

        });

I've tried to add a longClickListener but it didn't work.

Appreciate any ideas on how to solve this.

Thanks!

Answer 1

I've done it before, I just used:

down.setOnLongClickListener(new OnLongClickListener() { 
        @Override
        public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            return true;
        }
    });

Per documentation:

public void setOnLongClickListener (View.OnLongClickListener l)

Since: API Level 1 Register a callback to be invoked when this view is clicked and held. If this view is not long clickable, it becomes long clickable.

Notice that it requires to return a boolean, this should work.
