android detect touching

Question

I am working on a simple game. While user is touching the screen, increment some variable. While not, do nothing. I am Using surfaceView onTouchEvent, but it doesn't work because it is called only once. How can I accomplish such functionality?

@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
    vehicle.vel_y -=0.2f;
    return super.onTouchEvent(event);
}

Can you post your code which you use for implementing onTouchListener? — MysticMagicϡ, Nov 14 '12 at 07:38

Read about the MotionEvents that are passed to the onTouchEvent method. Specifically, look at ACTION_DOWN and ACTION_UP. You should receive motion events when a pointer touches the screen and when it leaves the screen.

Beyond that, the fun part is figuring out how to record progress between the ACTION_DOWN and ACTION_UP events (=

If you need a hint, you might start by looking at:

repeating events using handlers

In your XML layout file, you should set longClickable property of SurfaceView to true

android:longClickable="true"
