Android: Detect if user touches and drags out of button region?

Question

In Android, how can we detect if a user touches on button and drags out of region of this button?

Answer 1

view.setClickable(true);
view.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
        if (!v.isPressed()) {
            Log.e("onTouch", "Moved outside view!");
        }
        return false;
    }
});

view.isPressed uses view.pointInView and includes some touch slop. If you don't want slop, just copy the logic from the internal view.pointInView (which is public, but hidden so it's not a part of the official API and could disappear at any time).

view.setClickable(true);
view.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
        if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
            v.setTag(true);
        } else {
            boolean pointInView = event.getX() >= 0 && event.getY() >= 0
                    && event.getX() < (getRight() - getLeft())
                    && event.getY() < (getBottom() - getTop());
            boolean eventInView = ((boolean) v.getTag()) && pointInView;
            Log.e("onTouch", String.format("Dragging currently in view? %b", pointInView));
            Log.e("onTouch", String.format("Dragging always in view? %b", eventInView));
            v.setTag(eventInView);
        }
        return false;
    }
});
