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

Adding to the above answers ,if you want to implement both onClick and Drag actions then my code below can you guys. Taking some of the help from @Stimsoni :

     // assumed all the variables are declared globally; 

    public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent event) {

      int MAX_CLICK_DURATION = 400;
      int MAX_CLICK_DISTANCE = 5;


        switch (event.getAction())
        {
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN: {
                long clickDuration1 = Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis() - startClickTime;


                    startClickTime = Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis();
                    x1 = event.getX();
                    y1 = event.getY();


                    break;

            }
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
            {
                long clickDuration = Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis() - startClickTime;
                x2 = event.getX();
                y2 = event.getY();
                dx = x2-x1;
                dy = y2-y1;

                if(clickDuration < MAX_CLICK_DURATION && dx < MAX_CLICK_DISTANCE && dy < MAX_CLICK_DISTANCE) {
                    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "item clicked", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                    Log.d("clicked", "On Item Clicked:: ");

               //    imageClickAction((ImageView) view,rl);
                }

            }
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:

                long clickDuration = Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis() - startClickTime;
                x2 = event.getX();
                y2 = event.getY();
                dx = x2-x1;
                dy = y2-y1;

                if(clickDuration < MAX_CLICK_DURATION && dx < MAX_CLICK_DISTANCE && dy < MAX_CLICK_DISTANCE) {
                    //Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "item clicked", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                  //  Log.d("clicked", "On Item Clicked:: ");

                    //    imageClickAction((ImageView) view,rl);
                }
                else {
                    ClipData clipData = ClipData.newPlainText("", "");
                    View.DragShadowBuilder shadowBuilder = new View.DragShadowBuilder(view);

                    //Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "item dragged", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                    view.startDrag(clipData, shadowBuilder, view, 0);
                }
                break;
        }

        return  false;
    }
