OK, I solved this myself by attaching an onTouchListener to each button and listening for ACTION_DOWN and ACTION_UP events. the only problem is that if a user moves their finger off the button while holding it the ACTION_UP event is lost. This doesn't seem to be a major problem as all they have to do is tap the button again to stop, but if it gives any trouble I'll simply have to add a generic ACTION_UP listener.
Hope this is useful to someone, -BB On Oct 12, 11:25 am, bagelboy <greg.do...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have an app that uses seekbars with buttons on either side for fine > adjustments.
