Android: Why can't I give an onClickListener to a VideoView?

Question

I have written these lines of code:

 mVideoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.video_view);
    mVideoView.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        @O         


        

Answer 1

I know this is and old question, but here is what I did:

Since setOnClickListener is not been triggered, I created my own class which extends VideoView

public class VideoViewCustom extends VideoView{

and Overrided the onTouchEvent

@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {

    if(ev.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN){
        Log.d(TAG, "ACTION_DOWN");
    }

    return super.onTouchEvent(ev);
}

and now I can get the onClick event with the MotionEvent.

Hope this helps someone!
