How to use Long press and record sound in android

Question

In my app I need to use one click and long press on a button

on click for some thing(calling Itemclick()) and long press for record sound

and use this code:

 send.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
            switch(event.getAction()){
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
            {
                recording =false;
                t=new Timer();
                t.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() {

                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {

                            @Override
                            public void run() {
                                if(count>=2)
                                    t.cancel();
                                    count++;

                            }
                        });
                    }
                }, 1, 1000);
                break;
            }    
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
            {
                if(count >=2&&!recording)
                {

                     recording=true;
                     count=0;
                     Rec=new Recorder();
                     Rec.startRecord();
                }
                break;

            }
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
            { 
                t.cancel();
                if(!recording)
                {
                    count=0;
                    Itemclick();
                    break;
                }
                recording=false;
                Rec.StopRecord();
                db.open();
                db.insert_offline(Rec.getName(), true, false);
                listItems.add(Rec.getName());
                type.add("v");
                adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
                db.close();
                Rec=null;
                break;
            }
           }
            return false;
        }
    });

In this code I use a timer for finding long press but I want an easily and faster way to do this.

Do you have any idea or better solution ?

You can probably replace the timer and use android's built in event listeners for click, and hold events:

View.OnLongClickListener
View.OnClickListener

Going this route, your code will look something like the following.

send.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        //code for click event
    }
});

send.setOnLongClickListener(new View.OnLongClickListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
        //code for hold event... which sounds like you want to begin recording here
        return true; //indicate we're done listening to this touch listener
    }
});

send.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
        switch(event.getAction()){
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
            { 
            //stop recording voice if a long hold was detected and a recording started
            return true; //indicate we're done listening to this touch listener
            }
        }
        return false;
    }
});
