[android-developers] Re: WebView responding to touch events
Mark,
I think I had this problem myself and could solve it by using the following
code:
webView.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
switch (event.getAction()) {
case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
if (!v.hasFocus()) {
v.requestFocus();
}
break;
}
return false;
}
});
Hope this would help,
Sergey

[android-developers] Re: WebView responding to touch events
Sergey,
I ended up doing basically what you posted but only for the
ACTION_DOWN as that seemed to handle it.
Fred,
I tried adding an OnClickListener but never got any callbacks. I
assume that the WebView is designed to handle this internally and
expects you to use the WebViewClient.shouldOverrideUrlLoading() to
respond to the clicks. As to whether it happens in the emulator I am
not sure. I learned a long time ago with WM not to trust emulators so
I only debug on-device...
Thanks for the comments guys!

[android-developers] Re: WebView responding to touch events
Mark,
I'm not sure it would work, but have you tried to just
setFocusableInTouchMode(true) on the WebView object? Seems a lot
easier than messing with the touch handler.

Webview would have two touch events already as you would have the

Were you getting those two events before adding OnTouchListener?
