How to distinguish between move and click in onTouchEvent()?

Question

In my application, I need to handle both move and click events.

A click is a sequence of one ACTION_DOWN action, several ACTION_MOVE actions and one ACTION_UP action

Using Gil SH answer, I improved it by implementing onSingleTapUp() rather than onSingleTapConfirmed(). It is much faster and won't click the view if dragged/moved.

GestureTap:

public class GestureTap extends GestureDetector.SimpleOnGestureListener {
    @Override
    public boolean onSingleTapUp(MotionEvent e) {
        button.performClick();
        return true;
    }
}

Use it like:

final GestureDetector gestureDetector = new GestureDetector(getApplicationContext(), new GestureTap());
button.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
        gestureDetector.onTouchEvent(event);
        switch (event.getAction()) {
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
                return true;
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
                return true;
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
                return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
});
