How to get a continuous Touch Event?

Question

My class extends View and I need to get continuous touch events on it.

If I use:

public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent me) {

    if(me.getAction()

Try this. It works to me:

public static OnTouchListener loadContainerOnTouchListener() {
    OnTouchListener listener = new OnTouchListener(){
    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
        LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout)v;
        for(int i =0; i< layout.getChildCount(); i++)
        {
            View view = layout.getChildAt(i);
            Rect outRect = new Rect(view.getLeft(), view.getTop(), view.getRight(), view.getBottom());
            if(outRect.contains((int)event.getX(), (int)event.getY()))
            {
                Log.d(this.getClass().getName(), String.format("Over view.id[%d]", view.getId()));
            }
        }

    }

Remember: the listener you´ll set must be a container layout (Grid, Relative, Linear).

LinearLayout layout = findViewById(R.id.yourlayoutid);
layout.setOnTouchListener(HelperClass.loadContainerOnTouchListener());
