Android Runnable not working on android 2.3? -

i have following code:

    btn.setontouchlistener(new ontouchlistener() {              @override             public boolean ontouch(view v, motionevent event) {                  if (event.getaction() == motionevent.action_down) {                     v.post(pressed); // put runnable 'pressed' in                                         // asynchrone message queue                 }                  return false;             }         });  private runnable pressed = new runnable() {          @override         public void run() {               if (btn.ispressed()) {                 sky.draweverything(); btn.postdelayed(pressed, 10);             }         }      }; 

this works charm android 4.1.2, if try on android 2.3 runnable seems stay untriggered. i'm using api 1 or above, why doesn't work?

what alternative way of archieving same result , making work on older android versions?

he not sure :) code works on 4+ , in 2.3.6 tested having issues line if(btn.ispressed()), reason doesn't return true. here working hack, on samsung galaxy s 2.3.6

    btn.setontouchlistener(new ontouchlistener() {          @override         public boolean ontouch(view v, motionevent event) {              if (event.getaction() == motionevent.action_down) {                 v.setpressed(true);                 v.post(pressed); // put runnable 'pressed' in                                     // asynchrone message queue             }             if(event.getaction() == motionevent.action_up){                 v.setpressed(false);             }              return false;         }     }); }  private runnable pressed = new runnable() {          @override         public void run() {             if (btn.ispressed()) {                 //sky.draweverything();                 btn.postdelayed(pressed, 10);             }             else {                                     //print or whatever             }         }      }; 

hope helps , enjoy work.
