Two action at the same time, android

I have a doubt, is it possible to have two independent actions at same time in a single thread?

For example, when you build a custom view you have to override onTouchEvent() function that is called every time you touch the screen and also while you are touching it; but what happens when you run a function that loops infinitely in MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN and the system call MotionEvent.ACTION_UP? Will the infinite loop function stop or will they work together?

Thanks for any help.

well, if you run an infinite loop there you will block the ui thread so you will block your app. If you are trying to stop action_up or action_down even you can't, at least not this way.

onTouchEvent it's just a callback function that you receive after the touch has been done. You are just receiving the result so you can't block the input from the callback.
