Q:

In Android - How can I register only long clicks using a ClickableSpan

I would like to register clicks on a text wrapped in a ClickableSpan only if they are clicked for over say 1 second.  Is there any way to do this?  If not, capturing a double click would also be fine. 
It would be great if the onClick method captured an event that had some meta data about the click - then I could say ignore if the click length was short. 
Any advice? 
Thanks, Victor

In case anyone needs it, I found it on this place
    package leeon.mobile. BBSBrowser;

    import android.text. Layout;
    import android.text. Selection;
    import android.text. Spannable;
    import android.text.method. LinkMovementMethod;
    import android.text.method. MovementMethod;
    import android.view. MotionEvent;
    import android.widget. TextView;

    public class LongClickLinkMovementMethod extends LinkMovementMethod {

      private Long lastClickTime = 0l;
      private int lastX = 0;
      private int lastY = 0;
      @Override
        public boolean onTouchEvent(TextView widget, Spannable buffer,
                                    MotionEvent event) {
            int action = event.getAction();

            if (action == MotionEvent. ACTION_UP ||
                action == MotionEvent. ACTION_DOWN) {
                int x = (int) event.getX();
                int y = (int) event.getY();
                lastX = x;
                lastY = y;
                int deltaX = Math.abs(x-lastX);
                int deltaY = Math.abs(y-lastY);

                x -= widget.getTotalPaddingLeft();
                y -= widget.getTotalPaddingTop();

                x += widget.getScrollX();
                y += widget.getScrollY();

                Layout layout = widget.getLayout();
                int line = layout.getLineForVertical(y);
                int off = layout.getOffsetForHorizontal(line, x);

                LongClickableSpan[] link = buffer.getSpans(off, off, LongClickableSpan.class);

                if (link.length ! = 0) {
                    if (action == MotionEvent. ACTION_UP) {
                      if (System.currentTimeMillis() - lastClickTime < 1000)
                        link[0].onClick(widget);
                      else if (deltaX < 10 && deltaY < 10)
                        link[0].onLongClick(widget);
                    } else if (action == MotionEvent. ACTION_DOWN) {
                        Selection.setSelection(buffer,
                                               buffer.getSpanStart(link[0]),
                                               buffer.getSpanEnd(link[0]));
                        lastClickTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
                    }
                    return true;
                }
            }

            return super.onTouchEvent(widget, buffer, event);
        }

        public static MovementMethod getInstance() {
            if (sInstance == null)
                sInstance = new LongClickLinkMovementMethod();

            return sInstance;
        }

        private static LongClickLinkMovementMethod sInstance;
    }

LongClickableSpan in the same place:
    package leeon.mobile. BBSBrowser;

    import android.text.style. ClickableSpan;
    import android.view. View;

    public abstract class LongClickableSpan extends ClickableSpan {

      abstract public void onLongClick(View view);

    }
