LongClick event happens too quickly. How can I increase the clicktime required to trigger it?

Question

In an application I\'m working on, I have the requirement that a user must click & hold a component for a period time before a certain action occurs.

Answer 1

final boolean[] isLongPress = {false};
final int duration = 3000;
final Handler someHandler = new Handler();
    final Runnable someCall = new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            if(isLongPress[0]) {
                // your code goes here 
            }
        }
    };

    someButton.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {

        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
            int eventAction = event.getAction();
            if(eventAction == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN){
                isLongPress[0] = true;
                someHandler.postDelayed(someCall, duration);
            }
            else if (eventAction == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
                isLongPress[0] = false;
                someHandler.removeCallbacks(someCall);
            }
            return false;
        }
    });

For future reference, here is my implementation :)

public abstract class MyLongClickListener implements View.OnTouchListener {

    private int delay;
    private boolean down;
    private Runnable callback;
    private RectF mRect = new RectF();

    public MyLongClickListener(int delay) {
        this.delay = delay;
        this.callback = new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                down = false;
                onLongClick();
            }
        };
    }

    public abstract void onLongClick();

    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent e) {
        if (e.getPointerCount() > 1) return true;

        int action = e.getAction();
        if (action == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
            down = true;
            mRect.set(v.getLeft(), v.getTop(), v.getRight(), v.getBottom());
            v.postDelayed(callback, delay);
            return false;

        } else if (action == MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE) {
            if (down && !mRect.contains(v.getLeft() + e.getX(), v.getTop() + e.getY())) {
                v.removeCallbacks(callback);
                down = false;
                return false;
            }

        } else if (action == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
            if (down) {
                v.removeCallbacks(callback);
                v.performClick();
            }
            return true;

        } else if (action == MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL) {
            v.removeCallbacks(callback);
            down = false;
        }

        return false;
    }

}

Usage:

textView.setOnTouchListener(new MyLongClickListener(2000) {
    @Override
    public void onLongClick() {
        System.err.println("onLongClick");
    }
});
