OnTouchListener intercept when touch goes outside view

Here is a View.OnTouchListener that you can use to see if MotionEvent.ACTION_UP was sent while the user had his/her finger outside of the view:

java

private OnTouchListener mOnTouchListener = new View.OnTouchListener() {

    private Rect rect;

    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
        if (v == null) return true;
        switch (event.getAction()) {
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
            rect = new Rect(v.getLeft(), v.getTop(), v.getRight(), v.getBottom());
            return true;
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
            if (rect != null
                    && !rect.contains(v.getLeft() + (int) event.getX(),
                        v.getTop() + (int) event.getY())) {
                // The motion event was outside of the view, handle this as a non-click event

                return true;
            }
            // The view was clicked.
            // TODO: do stuff
            return true;
        default:
            return true;
        }
    }
};
