ListView - ItemLongPress

[Matt]

I'm looking for a way to get an ItemLongPress similar to the ItemTapped that is provided for android only (but accessible in through Forms).

I tried making a custom renderer and it is being used (I put a breakpoint in an override of the OnElementChanged in the customer renderer and it's being called), but I'm not getting any touch events.  I tried overriding the OnTouchEvent (breakpoint never hits) and I tried Control.SetOnLongClickListener inside the OnElementChanged event (after setting LongClickable = true), but the breakpoint in my new Long Click Listener never hits. 

Code snippets from the custom renderer (not entire code, but this is where I've set breakpoints):

        protected override void OnElementChanged(Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android.ElementChangedEventArgs<Telerik.XamarinForms.DataControls.RadListView> e)
        {
            base.OnElementChanged(e);
            if (e.NewElement != null) {
                if (Control != null) {
                    Control.Clickable = true;
                    Control.SetOnTouchListener(RadTouchListener.Instance.Value);
                    Control.LongClickable = true;
                    Control.SetOnLongClickListener(RadLongClickListener.Instance.Value);
                }
            }
        }

 

        private class RadLongClickListener : Java.Lang.Object, Android.Views.View.IOnLongClickListener
        {
            public static readonly Lazy<RadLongClickListener> Instance = new Lazy<RadLongClickListener>(() => new RadLongClickListener());

            public bool OnLongClick(Android.Views.View v)
            {
                var renderer = v.Tag as ExtendedRadListRenderer;
                ((ILongPressController)renderer?.Element)?.SendLongClicked();
                return true;
            }
        }

 

  public override bool OnTouchEvent(MotionEvent e)
        {
            return base.OnTouchEvent(e);
        }

Hello Matt,

Thank you for contacting us! In order to enable the listview long-press you would need the following code in the custom renderer:

Control.ListView.AddItemClickListener(new RadLongClickListener(this));

I have prepared sample project demonstrating how this can be achieved. Check the attachment and let us know if this helps.
