Vibration adds a nice feel to your device, it makes the user feel part of your app and awaken. I am going to show you how to make your phone vibrate when you long press a button.





1. import the vibrate class

import android.os.Vibrator;

2. next, this will be the code that will listen for a long press, and make your phone vibrate.

button.setOnLongClickListener(new View.OnLongClickListener(){
    

    @Override    public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
        Vibrator vibrator = (Vibrator)getSystemService(VIBRATOR_SERVICE);
        vibrator.vibrate(100);
        return true;
    }
});

Note: this will make your phone vibrate for 100 milliseconds, hence 1000ms is 1s

enjoy this nice feature.

Sometimes you may need to have a click and a long click (press) on the same View, here is how you can avoid triggering both event.

//button view 

button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override    public void onClick(View v) {
       //your code here
   }
});


button.setOnLongClickListener(new View.OnLongClickListener() {
    @Override    public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
        //your code here
        return true;
    }
});

By setting onLongClick return to true, you are telling the compiler that you have handled onLongClick event, no need to trigger the onClick event.
