OnClickListener and OnTouchListener collision issues

Question

Currently working on an app in which I implement a chat head to make a view on top. I use an image for floating icon for chat heads, it working fine. what problem I face is that, both onClick and onTouch event not working properly either one of them is working at a time. How to make both of them working?.

I'd suggest you use only the OnTouchListener and handling the click case there using something like:

    ImageButton floatingIcon = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.floatingIcon);
    gestureDetector = new GestureDetector(this, new YourGestureListener());
    floatingIcon.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View arg0, MotionEvent arg1) {
            if (gestureDetector.onTouchEvent(arg1)) {
                // A single tap has been made - treat it like a click and consume the event
                return true;
            } else {
                // The MotionEvent is not a click event, handle and decide if the event is consumed
            }
            return false;
        }
    });

    private class YourGestureListener extends SimpleOnGestureListener {
        @Override
        public boolean onSingleTapUp(MotionEvent event) {
            return true;
        }
    }
