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

This was the simplest working solution I found to this restriction:

//Define these variables at the beginning of your Activity or Fragment:
private long then;
private int longClickDuration = 5000; //for long click to trigger after 5 seconds

...

//This can be a Button, TextView, LinearLayout, etc. if desired
ImageView imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.desired_longclick_view);
imageView.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
      @Override
      public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
        if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
          then = (long) System.currentTimeMillis();
        } else if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
          if ((System.currentTimeMillis() - then) > longClickDuration) {
            /* Implement long click behavior here */
            System.out.println("Long Click has happened!");
            return false;
          } else {
            /* Implement short click behavior here or do nothing */
            System.out.println("Short Click has happened...");
            return false;
          }
        }
        return true;
      }
    });
