Android automatich Touch Event

Question

When a touch_down is detected in android, a touch_up is automatically fired after a while (the time is depending on the hardware) I guess this is for security reason. In my app, on touch_up events, some actions are done, and I would like NOT to do them on these automatic touch_up events.

Do you know : - if it is possible to get rid of them (the OS not sending them to my view) ? - or do you have an idea to detect that an action_up is from this kind (automatic) and not actually from the user really lifting his finger ?

thanks

AFter discussion with a developer from Motorola, the problem comes from Motorola. They implemented something on top of the android framework to prevent touch event to be stuck. ... There is nothing that can be done about that ...
