You have to set setOnItemLongClickListener   in the ListView   lv setOnItemLongClickListener new OnItemLongClickListener                  Override             public boolean onItemLongClick AdapterView lt   gt  arg0  View arg1                      int pos  long id                       TODO Auto-generated method stub                  Log v  long clicked   pos      pos                    return true                               The XML for each item in the list  should you use a custom XML  must have android longClickable  true  as well   or you can use the convenience method lv setLongClickable true     This way you can have a list with only some items responding to longclick   Hope this will help you

If you want to do it in the adapter  you can simply do this   itemView setOnLongClickListener new View OnLongClickListener                          Override             public boolean onLongClick View v                    Toast makeText mContext   Long pressed on item   Toast LENGTH SHORT  show

If your ListView row item refers to a separate XML file  be sure to add android longClickable  true  to that layout file in addition to setting setOnItemLongClickListener   to your ListView

I tried most of these answers and they were all failing for TextViews that had autolink enabled but also had to use long press in the same place   I made a custom class that works   public class TextViewLinkLongPressUrl extends TextView        private boolean isLongClick   false       public TextViewLinkLongPressUrl Context context            super context              public TextViewLinkLongPressUrl Context context  AttributeSet attrs            super context  attrs              public TextViewLinkLongPressUrl Context context  AttributeSet attrs  int defStyleAttr            super context  attrs  defStyleAttr               Override     public void setText CharSequence text  BufferType type            super setText text  type               Override     public boolean onTouchEvent MotionEvent event             if  event getAction      MotionEvent ACTION UP  amp  amp  isLongClick                isLongClick   false              return false                     if  event getAction      MotionEvent ACTION UP                isLongClick   false                     if  event getAction      MotionEvent ACTION DOWN                isLongClick   false                     return super onTouchEvent event               Override     public boolean performLongClick             isLongClick   true          return super performLongClick

I think this above code will work on LongClicking the listview  not the individual items   why not use registerForContextMenu listView   and then get the callback in OnCreateContextMenu   For most use cases this will work same
