Android onhover事件,onhover - onHoverListener doesn't work in Android - Stack Overflow

In android document, it mentions supporting the "hover" event since 4.0 (ie. API level 14 and up). But somehow, it doesn't work. Even I tried out the sample code in ApiDemo, which is from Android Sample, it didn't work.

My current device is Android 4.0.4. Should I upgrade it to 4.2.2?

Sample code is something as below.

Did you have a solution to it? Thanks a lot.

Code:

View container = findViewById(R.id.container);

container.setOnHoverListener(new View.OnHoverListener() {

@Override

public boolean onHover(View v, MotionEvent event) {

switch (event.getAction()) {

case MotionEvent.ACTION_HOVER_ENTER:

mMessageTextView.setText(Hover.this.getResources().getString(

R.string.hover_message_entered_at,

event.getX(), event.getY()));

break;

case MotionEvent.ACTION_HOVER_MOVE:

mMessageTextView.setText(Hover.this.getResources().getString(

R.string.hover_message_moved_at,

event.getX(), event.getY()));

break;

case MotionEvent.ACTION_HOVER_EXIT:

mMessageTextView.setText(Hover.this.getResources().getString(

R.string.hover_message_exited_at,

event.getX(), event.getY()));

break;

}

return false;

}

});
