MotionEvent - How to do action on tap, not drag [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:

How can I detect a click in an onTouch listener?

9 answers

I have been searching online and on StackOverflow for how to do an action in an onTouchListener if the event was a tap, not a motion of any kind, but I haven't been able to find an answer and what I have tried doesn't work either. I have a ListView Adapter and in the getView method, I have set the onTouchListener on the listItem.

What I want to do is when the listItem is tapped, I want to display a Toast, but if the event was a drag (like the user scrolling through the list), I don't want to display the Toast.

Below is the code that I have tried. (makeToast is a function for making a Toast and events.getRelation() is the String I want to have in the Toast.):

listItem.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {

    @Override

    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {

        if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_HOVER_ENTER) {

            makeToast(events.getRelation());

        } else if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {

            //  makeToast(events.getRelation());

        } else if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_SCROLL) {

            //   makeToast(events.getRelation());

        } else if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE) {

            // makeToast(events.getRelation());

        } else if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.AXIS_SCROLL) {

            //   makeToast(events.getRelation());

        } else if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.AXIS_VSCROLL) {

            //    makeToast(events.getRelation());

        } else {

            //makeToast(events.getRelation());

        }

        return false;

    }

});

I have tried having the makeToast method under different types of MotionEvents, but I still don't get the results I want because either a Toast is not made at all, or it is made when I am scrolling, not tapping. Would anyone be able to help me with this? I feel like it is a simple problem, but I have been unable to find a solution

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.

That question had to do with implementing onTouch and onClick because onClick is never called after onTouch. My question is differentiating between a scroll and a tap to create the Toast on the tap.

I agree that the other user's reason for wanting to be able to detect a tap/ a click in onTouch() is different from yours. But since both of you want to achieve the same thing, please explain why the answers to the other post are not helpful in your case. (IMO the accepted self-answer is not really good but there is more than one other answer explaining how to evaluate the time between DOWN and UP in order to make a decision)

According to what I understand, I think you wish to set Click listener to the whole activity!

To do this, add ViewTreeObserver:

ViewTreeObserver viewTreeObserver = myView.getViewTreeObserver();

viewTreeObserver.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new OnGlobalLayoutListener() {

    //make Toast

}

I don't think you understood my question. I know how to make a Toast. What I am having difficulty with is detecting whether a touch was a tap or a motion and then making a Toast if it was a tap. The problem is with detecting a touch vs motion.

Thanks for trying Gourav, but I don't want to set a ClickListener to the whole activity because each individual row in the ListView makes a Toast of a different message. Also, my question is about detecting different types of MotionEvents like taps or drags, not making Toasts or ClickListeners.

To detect Single and Double Tap in android use the following methods

class GestureTap extends GestureDetector.SimpleOnGestureListener { @Override public boolean onDoubleTap(MotionEvent e) { Log.i("onDoubleTap :", "" + e.getAction()); return true; } @Override public boolean onSingleTapConfirmed(MotionEvent e) { Log.i("onSingleTap :", "" + e.getAction()); return true; } }

And add the following code in onTouch listener

@Override public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) { new GestureDetector(this, new GestureTap()).onTouchEvent(event); return true; }
