Listview tap and hold

[OfficeHeart]

Hello,

I have a listview with tap and hold events:
- onTap: navigate to something
- onHold: show actionsheet

Now after the hold event, the tap event is also generated. How can I cancel that event?

Here is the jsBin http://jsbin.com/egasev/1/edit

Thanks,
Koen

P.S. Maybe you can make a Touch forum for these questions.

Hello Koen,

I am afraid what you are trying to achieve is not supported in Kendo UI Mobile. We may consider changing this for future versions in the product, but at this point there is no suitable workaround I can suggest. Please excuse us for the inconvenience caused.

Hi Koen,

After further discussions with the team I am glad to say we managed to find a workaround that may suit your requirements. Take a look at the following code snippet: 

<script>
  var hold;
  function onTouchStart(e){
      hold = false;
  }

  function onTap(e) {
    if (!hold) {
        alert('tap');
    }
  }

  function onHold(e) {
     hold = true;
     alert('hold');
     $("#companyActionsList").data("kendoMobileActionSheet").open();
 }
  window.kendoMobileApplication = new kendo.mobile.Application(document.body);
</script>

In the touchStart event assigned false value to the hold variable and made some additional checks. For your convenience I updated the jsBin example to illustrate the suggested approach in action.

Hello, I've faced with this issue, is it already solved or I have to use this workaround?

Hello Sergey,

You still need to workaround that my colleague provided, as the tap event is fired right after the hold event is completed.

Thanks for response, however it's a pity, that you need more then two years to fix such a widespread bug.
