OnTouchListener, ACTION_UP fires automatically after 30 second timeout

Question

I need the user to be able to touch and hold a button/imageview for a long time (> 30 seconds). unfortunately after ~30 seconds an ACTION_UP is fired automatically. Do you have any idea how i can prevent or bypass this event and keep tracking the users touch?

This is essential for the control of my app.

Answer 1

At least for Motorola Xoom, as posted in Motorola Forum , Engineering team seems to consider this problem a feature.

There is a possible solution there(for Xoom), don´t know if works.

Answer 2

It happens on my motorola me525 also,only last 20 seconds. I advise you use a layout(for example linearlayout)instead of button or imagebutton layout can be pressed for a long time as you want
