Android - Do something while touching the screen

There is an extended SurficeView class that I want that while the user is touching the screen (like onKeyDown) it does something.

Like this:

@Override
    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
        Log.e("Touching", "Touching the Screen");
        return true;
    }

While the user is touching the screen I want my LogCat to be spammed (just testing) 'til I'm not touching it but it only shows the message twice: when I touch and when I release.

write Log in one of below actions like:

@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
   if(event.getAction==MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN){
    Log.e("Touching", "Touching the Screen");
  }
    else if(event.getAction==MotionEvent.ACTION_UP){
    Log.e("Touching up", "Touching the Screen up");}
    return true;
}
