Onhoverlistener Doesn't Work In Android

In android document, it mentions supporting the 'hover' event since 4.0 (ie. API level 14 and up). But somehow, it doesn't work. Even I tried out the sample code in ApiDemo, which

Solution 1:

Hovering requires support from the hardware. The only thing likely to support it is a stylus. It won't work with just your finger.

Solution 2:

try using OnFocusChangeListener(). PS worked for me

Solution 3:

I suggest to Turn on 'Accessibility' and 'Explore by touch' feature in settings. When these features are off, the hover action will be treated as touch actions.

Solution 4:

setOnTouchListener is also an option. Here is a kotlin example:

    binding.ratingBar.setOnTouchListener { v, event ->
        println("touch......")
        false
    }

here (binding.ratingBar) is my view reference. I used view binding.
