Detecting Long Clicks on Buttons in Jetpack Compose

Jetpack Compose has revolutionized UI development in Android by offering a declarative approach that simplifies our code significantly. However, even the most elegant frameworks can have their challenges. One common issue developers face is how to effectively detect long clicks on buttons within Jetpack Compose. Let's dive into this problem and explore a practical solution.

Understanding the Problem

When attempting to add both click and long click detection to a standard Button in Jetpack Compose, you may encounter a hurdle. The default Button implementation consumes click events and does not allow for chaining additional modifiers, such as combinedClickable(). This creates confusion when trying to capture both simple click and long click interactions without creating a custom button.

The primary dilemma you’re likely facing is:

You want to use the Button component.

You need to differentiate between normal clicks and long clicks.

You want to avoid the complexity of creating a custom button.

The Solution: Leveraging InteractionSource

The key to enabling long click detection lies in using the InteractionSource along with collecting its interactions. Here's how you can achieve this effectively in your Jetpack Compose code.

Step-by-Step Implementation

Import Required Libraries: First, ensure that you have access to the necessary libraries to handle Compose and interactions.

Set Up the InteractionSource: Create a mutable instance of InteractionSource that will track the interactions for your button.

Collect Interactions: Utilize a coroutine to collect and handle interactions of the button. This allows you to determine whether an interaction is a regular click or a long click.

Use LaunchedEffect: This Composable will run the interaction collection when your Composable appears on screen.

Here is an example of how to put this into practice:

Explanation of the Code

MutableInteractionSource: This creates a source that can be observed for the button interactions.

LaunchedEffect: Initiates a coroutine that listens for interactions from the interactionSource. It's responsible for determining the type of interaction—whether it’s a click or a long click—and performing the appropriate action, such as displaying a Toast message.

PressInteraction: Handles the press and release events. If the press duration exceeds a certain threshold, the long click action is triggered; otherwise, a normal click is registered.

Conclusion

Detecting long clicks on buttons in Jetpack Compose is straightforward when utilizing InteractionSource. This approach not only keeps your code clean but also avoids the complexity of building a custom button for a seemingly simple requirement. With this method, you can efficiently enhance user interactions in your Compose applications without compromising on code readability or maintainability.

Feel free to implement this solution in your own projects, and happy coding!
