Why getAction method always return ACTION_DOWN?

Question

I am using onTouchListener for a layout. I want to take the click outside the layout. I set onTouchListetener for the layout. But motion event always shows ACTION_DOWN. Even i touchOutside the view, It is not showing ACTION_OUTSIDE. Could anyone help me to find out why it is not showing constant ACTION_OUTSIDE. Here is the code i am using

Layout.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {

    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
        Log.i("action",event.getAction()+"");
        if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_OUTSIDE) {
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "check", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            return true;
        }

        return false;
    }
});

Answer 1

If you return false, then you're signifying that you do not wish to receive further touch events. You need to return true to continue getting motion events.

Answer 2

Very simple to fix by adding this:

 override fun onTouchEvent(event: MotionEvent): Boolean {
        return true
    }
