Kotlin OnTouchListener called but it does not override performClick

Question

How to override performClick in Kotlin to avoid warning?

next.setOnTouchListener(View.OnTouchListener { view, motionEvent ->
        when (motionEvent.action){
            MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN -> {
                val icon: Drawable = ContextCompat.getDrawable(activity.applicationContext, R.drawable.layer_bt_next)
                icon.setColorFilter(Color.GRAY, PorterDuff.Mode.MULTIPLY)
                next.setImageDrawable(icon)
            }
            MotionEvent.ACTION_UP -> {
                //view.performClick()
                next.setImageResource(R.drawable.layer_bt_next)
            }
        }
        return@OnTouchListener true
    })

view.performClick does not work.

Answer 1

Try this way :

 next.setOnTouchListener(object : View.OnTouchListener {
        override fun onTouch(v: View?, event: MotionEvent?): Boolean {
            when (event?.action) {
                MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN -> //Do Something
            }

            return v?.onTouchEvent(event) ?: true
        }
    })

Okay, I solved my own problem by overriding the OnTouch listener.

override fun onTouch(view: View, motionEvent: MotionEvent): Boolean {
    when (view) {
        next -> {
            Log.d("next", "yeyy")
            when (motionEvent.action){
                MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN -> {
                    val icon: Drawable = ContextCompat.getDrawable(activity.applicationContext, R.drawable.layer_bt_next)
                    icon.setColorFilter(Color.GRAY, PorterDuff.Mode.MULTIPLY)
                    next.setImageDrawable(icon)
                }
                MotionEvent.ACTION_UP -> {
                    view.performClick()
                    next.setImageResource(R.drawable.layer_bt_next)
                }
            }
        }
        previous -> {
            //ingredients here XD
        }
    }
    return true
}

And in that way, I can call single onTouch and implement it to many button and also can use the onClick by :

view.performClick()

Don't forget to implement :

View.OnTouchListener

And set the listener :

next.setOnTouchListener(this)
previous.setOnTouchListener(this)

I don't think your solution will actually solve them problem presented by the warning. The warning states that certain accessibility functions use performClick() to activate buttons. If you look in the View class, the performClick() funtions calls the onClickListener directly, meaning the code in the onTouchListener will not be executed (next.setImageResource(R.drawable.layer_bt_next)) for these accessibility functions, since the view will never be physically touched, and thus your onTouch code won't run. You have to do one of either:

1. Subclass the view you are setting the onTouchListener on, and override performClick to execute the code, or
2. Set an onClickListener on the view that executes the code.

You could just implement onClickListener in your onTouchListener class and manually call onClick() from your onTouchListener (where you have view.performClick() now), and then move your executable code to the onClick override. You would also have to set BOTH onTouchListener and onClickListener on your views.

I'm not sure this is the same issue you saw, but since I found this page searching for my issue, I thought I'd add my experience to help others :)

In my case the warning was being generated because the nullable view could have been of type Void. Calling the following:

nullableView?.setOnTouchListener(this)

produced the error:

Custom view Void has setOnTouchListener called on it but does not override performClick

Performing a null check and casting to a View before setting the listener solved for me in this case, since View will override performClick:

if (nullableView != null) (nullableView as View).setOnTouchListener(this)

After a ton of digging, and not being able to fix my variation of this issue with anything in this thread, I finally found a fix. Maybe it will work for some of you. I had this widget listener setter in my MainActivity onCreate function:

findViewById<TextView>(R.id.tvAnimalList).setOnTouchListener { v, event ->
    mGestureDetector.onTouchEvent(event)
}

Which results in the warnings:

• 'onTouch' lambda should call 'View#performClick' when a click is detected
• Custom view "TextView" has 'setOnTouchListener' called on it but does not override 'performClick'

First, I added a call to v.performClick(), which got rid of the first warning. Like this:

findViewById<TextView>(R.id.tvAnimalList).setOnTouchListener { v, event ->
    v.performClick()
    mGestureDetector.onTouchEvent(event)
}

I got rid of the second warning by changing the findViewById cast from <TextView> to <View>. Here's my warning-free result:

findViewById<View>(R.id.tvAnimalList).setOnTouchListener { v, event ->
    v.performClick()
    mGestureDetector.onTouchEvent(event)
}
