Xamarin : Android LinearLayout MouseDown like event

Question

I have tried searching available events for the LinearLayout layout for events that work the same way MouseDown and MouseUp events work in .NET (a.k.a. MouseDown = touch screen without releasing, MouseUp releasing finger from screen after a touch) but I can't find one.

Is this feature available for android systems?

Answer 1

The short answer is that MotionEvent class describes all those events, specifically MotionEventActions.Down is the equivalent of MouseDown and MotionEventActions.Up is for MouseUp.
But you should really go through some tutorials as these things are the basics that you need to know and understand. For example this one explains on what input events are and which kinds are there.

Good Luck.
