How to prevent button onClick firing repeatly?

Question

I have a Button which sets both onLongClickListener & onClickListener :

onLongClickListener :

 @Override public boolean onLongClick(View v) { do something ... return true; }

onClickListener :

 @Override public void onClick(View v) { do something else ... }

When I long click the button, onLongClick fires repeatly (sometimes onClick fires too when I release the button, it's weird @@") What I want is to make the onLongClick be triggered only once for one long press. So I modified the code :

onLongClickListener :

 @Override public boolean onLongClick(View v) { do something ... myButton.setLongClickable(false); return true; }

onClickListener :

 @Override public void onClick(View v) { myButton.setLongClickable(true); do something else ... }

Unfortunately, the onClick callback was locked too after onLongClick fires! I cant unlock the button anymore :| Whats wrong with my code? Also, why onClick sometimes works when I release my button after a long click?

I've got the code you need, give me a minute to post it.

 btn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { //DO STUFF GRAH! } }); btn.setOnLongClickListener(new OnLongClickListener() { public boolean onLongClick(View v) { //OTHER STUFF return true; } });

This worked fine for me. I made an int and onLongClick added one and displayed it in a toast. Always incremented by one, and didn't do the onClick (reset it to 0).

Actually it's 100% the same as my original code, but it still can not work on my emulator :|
What API level are you testing on? This worked perfectly on 2.2 for me.
