Android Question Button Events do not fire as expected when button is within a scrollview

[Gary Milne]

I have a scrolling menu (buttons within a scrollview) with buttons in it sharing a single event handler. When I have a Button_Click event defined it fires but Button_Down and Button_Up do not fire. If I comment out the Button_Click event then Button_Down and Button_Up do fire.

I'd like to be able to have all three fire if possible.

Any insight?

You should not intercept all three events as the Click event can "steal" the event. Consider using a Panel instead. The Touch event will give you more options.

Thanks for the quick response. In the Kindle book location 8985 it states that all three events should fire in the order Down, Up and Click. I believe what you say but thought I should point out that it contradicts the book. Is this only the case because it's in a Scrollview?

The buttons Up and Down events are not part of the Android SDK. On some devices due to slightly different UI implementations they behave differently.
(search the site and you will see several threads about these events).

I don't think that it is related to the ScrollView.
