How to detect if click event is finished in android?

Question

I create views dynamically, and I handle their click events normally, like this :

myView.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                v.setBackgroundColor(0xaaffffff);


            }
        });

But this code does not handle the onRelease event, so the view remains with white background, after the click.

So how can I set the background to another value when the clicked state is over ?

Thanks in advance !

Edit:

OnTouchListener does the exact same thing. I guess I need something like onReleaseListener ?

For that you need to use an onTouchListener => documentation

Refer this tutorial on how to use this.

Example:

myView.setOnTouchListener(
        new View.OnTouchListener() {
        public boolean onTouch(View myView, MotionEvent event) {
            int action = event.getAction();
            if (action==MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE)
            {
                myView.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLUE);
            }
            if (action==MotionEvent.ACTION_UP)
            {
                myView.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);
            }
            if (action==MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN)
            {
                myView.setBackgroundColor(Color.YELLOW);
            }
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            return true;
        }
    }
