Disable long click in android webview

Question

I am using css columns to display contents in android webview. I used longclicklistner {return true}; with this I was able to disable longclick in phones but it doesn't seem to work in tabs(eg galaxy tab 2). I'm also preventing touchmove event using jquery but the css columns are moving when swipe occurs as part of longclick. Any help is welcome. Thank you.

wbView.setOnLongClickListener(new View.OnLongClickListener() {

        @Override
        public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
            return true;
        }
    });
    wbView.setLongClickable(false);

jquery code:

document.getElementById("divIdToShowContent").ontouchmove = function(e){
         e.preventDefault();
         var touching = null;

}

You have to use a GestureDetector, the SimpleOnGestureListener has onSingleTapConfirmed() for click events and onFling() for swipe events.

onSingleTapConfirmed() is not being called when long click and text selection occurs, I checked it with the help of Logs. The function onDown() is called, could not distinguish click and long click – Jithu May 06 '13 at 10:07

I avoided using GestureDetector and SimpleOnGestureListener, I done it with catching touch listnerby catching the position fron MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN and MotionEvent.ACTION_UP

Try this :

_webview.setOnLongClickListener(new OnLongClickListener() {
@Override
public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
    return true;
}
});
