I'm calling this method through a MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE, but the values don't change as movement occurs. It sticks with just the first value pressed on the first touch. It's most likely to do with the if statement I have here not exiting the loop, but I could do with some help
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
//_gestureDetector.onTouchEvent(event);
long timeElapsed = 0L;
int eventAction = event.getAction();
String number = "";
String letter = "";
String join = "";
int iTo = getIndexOfButton(v);
// you may need the x/y location
int x = (int)event.getX();
int y = (int)event.getY();
String position = "";
// put your code in here to handle the event
switch (eventAction) {
case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
Log.d("Chess", "Down");
timeElapsed = event.getDownTime();
break;//return true;
case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
Log.d("Chess", "Up");
timeElapsed = event.getDownTime() - timeElapsed;
if (timeElapsed == 2000) {
//v.performClick();
Log.d("Chess", "perform click");
}
timeElapsed = 0L;
break;//return true;
case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
respondCoordinates(v);
}
// tell the View to redraw the Canvas
//invalidate();
return false;//super.onTouchEvent(event);
}
public Boolean respondCoordinates(View v){
int iTo = getIndexOfButton(v);
String join = "";
String letter = "";
String number = "";
//boolean moveActive = true;

i think you should change the returned value in onTouch function and if the event action was MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN you should return true instead of false to get the other events.
