I dont know if you already solved you problem, im almost sure you did, but this works

this.getListView().setLongClickable(true); this.getListView().setOnItemLongClickListener(new OnItemLongClickListener() {     public boolean onItemLongClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View v, int position, long id) {         //Do some         return true;     } });
