onLongClick() is not called on long-click action

Question

I'm trying to implement a floating context menu in my application. I'm following an example provided by google: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/menus.html ,but stuck at the beginning with that piece of code:

@Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
     super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

new AsyncTaskOne(this).execute();

     getListView().setOnLongClickListener(new View.OnLongClickListener() {
            // Called when the user long-clicks on someView

            public boolean onLongClick(View view) {
                Log.v("OnLongClick", "clicked");    // It doesn't log anything on a long click event.
                if (mActionMode != null) {
                    return false;
                }

                // Start the CAB using the ActionMode.Callback defined above
                mActionMode = actiV().startActionMode(mActionModeCallback);
                view.setSelected(true);
                return true;
            }
        });

 }

I've put Log checking into onLongClick(View view) method to find out if it's actually called. When I long-click some item from my ListView nothing happens (my Log.v doesn't log anything). I'm wondering maybe the tutorial is missing something (some declaration in layout.xml)?

Answer 1

You setting the long click listener to the whole listview, Did you really want to set an OnItemLongClick which would get the long click for an item in the list?
