Change long click delay

Question

I am listening for a View\'s long click events via setOnLongClickListener(). Can I change the long click delay / duration?

Answer 1

I defined an extension function in Kotlin inspired by @Galoway answer:

fun View.setOnVeryLongClickListener(listener: () -> Unit) {
    setOnTouchListener(object : View.OnTouchListener {

        private val longClickDuration = 2000L
        private val handler = Handler()

        override fun onTouch(v: View?, event: MotionEvent?): Boolean {
            if (event?.action == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
                handler.postDelayed({ listener.invoke() }, longClickDuration)
            } else if (event?.action == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
                handler.removeCallbacksAndMessages(null)
            }
            return true
        }
    })
}

Use it like this:

button.setOnVeryLongClickListener {
    // Do something here
}
