Issue in OnTouchListener for ImageView

I have set OnTouchListener to an image view. I want to do two different actions when user press down the image and also when press up the image. But always I am getting press down event as (ACTION_DOWN) but if i use button instead of ImageView then I can both ACTION_DOWN and ACTION_UP. But I have to use ImageView not Button. How to achieve ACTION_UP event in ImageView

prevImage.setOnTouchListener(this); // prevImage is an image View

@Override
    public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent arg1) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        Log.i("Wallpaper","...On touch ..." + arg1.getAction());
        if (arg1.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
            //set img1 as imagesource 
        } else if (arg1.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
            //set img2 as imagesource and parse data from url
        }

        return false;

}

Thanks

Don't know if this is too late or not.

You can do it by adding this to your imageView in your xml file

android:clickable="true"

and you can use if and else if like you already did there.

hope this helps.

Please check if ACTION_CANCEL is fired instead of ACTION_UP. It may get fired instead of ACTION_UP when it comes to images.

[EDIT] Also, you have to return true if you intercept ACTION_DOWN event in order ACTION_UP to get fired.
