Onlongclicklistener Does Not Work On Webview

I have the following struktur to implement an longclicklistener. It works if I click on a text on the webview which contains a html-link, so I know the structure is not completely

Solution 1:

I tried now to clone the longclick action by myself. This works but only a few times. After a certain time, the onTouch-Event is not called anymore... Suggestions?

private Runnable copyTextAfterDelay=new Runnable() {
    publicvoidrun() {
        ...
    }
};

...

        myWebView.setOnTouchListener(newView.OnTouchListener() { 
            @OverridepublicbooleanonTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
                switch (event.getAction()) { 
                    caseMotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:  
                        mTimerHandler.removeCallbacks(copyTextAfterDelay);
                        mTimerHandler.postDelayed(copyTextAfterDelay,1000);
                        break;
                    caseMotionEvent.ACTION_UP: 
                        mTimerHandler.removeCallbacks(copyTextAfterDelay);
                        break;
                    caseMotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
                        mTimerHandler.removeCallbacks(copyTextAfterDelay);
                        break;
                }
                returnfalse;                  
            }
            });

Solution 2:

Override onTouch methode of your webview and return true for ACTION_DOWN events. Thereby you consume your down event.

@OverridepublicbooleanonTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
    switch (event.getAction()) { 
         caseMotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:  
            returntrue;
      }
   }
