setOnTouchListener not working for android Fragment


I am using TabView and in it, I am using Fragment to load each tab. I want to get the Touch event when the user touches any of the fragments.

Fragment Code

 public MobileBankingFragment() {
    // Required empty public constructor
}


@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                         Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    context = (FragmentActivity) super.getActivity();
    view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_mobile_banking, container, false);
    alarm = new TimerReceiver();
    init(view);
    touchListener(view);
    return view;
}

private void touchListener(View view) {
    layout= (FrameLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.fragmentMobileBanking);
    layout.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
            Toast.makeText(context, "you just touch the screen :-)", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            return true;
        }
    });


    view.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
            Toast.makeText(context, "you just touch the screen :-)", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            startTheTimerForTenSecond();
            return true;
        }
    });
}

Here I try to get the touch event in two ways, one by event, another by the id of the layout, but I have had no luck. This code gives no errors, but no output either.


Solution

  • It works on me:

    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_take_attendance, container, false);
        touchListener(view);
        ..
    }
     private void touchListener(View view) {
            view.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
                @Override
                public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
                    if (event.getActionMasked() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN){
                        Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "you just touch the screen :-)", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                    }
                    return true;
                }
            });
        }
    

    It listens when you touch whole fragment
