Android: Why can't I give an onClickListener to a VideoView?

Question

I have written these lines of code:

 mVideoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.video_view);     mVideoView.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {         @Override         public void onClick(View v) {             Log.v("LOG_TAG, click");         }     }); 

However, when I run my application, the click event is never called.

So I wonder, is it impossible to register an OnClickListener on a VideoView? And, if so, why is that the case?

Answer 1

Here's how I solved the pause/play of VideoViews using onTouch:

// Class variables private boolean bVideoIsBeingTouched = false; private Handler mHandler = new Handler();  vvVideo.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {     @Override     public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {     if (!bVideoIsBeingTouched) {         bVideoIsBeingTouched = true;     if (vvVideo.isPlaying()) {         vvVideo.pause();     } else {         vvVideo.resume();     }     mHandler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {         public void run() {             bVideoIsBeingTouched = false;         }         }, 100);     }     return true;     } }); 

Answer 2

use VideoView.setOnTouchListener(..) it works for VideoView
