Can't handle both click and touch events simultaneously

Question

I am trying to handle touch events and click events on a button. I do the following:

button.setOnClickListener(clickListener);
button.setOnTouchListener(touc         


        

Answer 1

button.setOnTouchListener(this);

Implement interface and the code here:

@Override
public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent motionEvent) {
    switch (view.getId()) {
        case R.id.send:
            switch(motionEvent.getAction()){
                case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
                    //when the user has pressed the button
                    //do the needful here
                    break;
                case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
                    //when the user releases the button
                    //do the needful here
                    break;
            }
            break;
    }
    return false;
}
