As per the android documentation there is no way to perform itemlong click on spinner item. Here is the Link
So if you want to achieve spinner with on item long click you have to make a custom adapter and set long click on view.
public class TestSpinnerAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
private String[] mArray;
public TestSpinnerAdapter(String[] array) {
mArray = array;
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return mArray.length;
}
#Override
public Object getItem(int position) {
return mArray[position];
}
#Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
return 0;
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, final ViewGroup parent) {
LayoutInflater layoutInflater =LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext());
convertView = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.adapter_spinner_item,parent,false);
((TextView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.tv_name)).setText(mArray[position]);
convertView.setOnLongClickListener(new View.OnLongClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
Toast.makeText(parent.getContext(),"On Long Click",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return false;
}
});
return convertView;
}
}
And set this adapter to your spinner
mTestSPN = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spn_test);
TestSpinnerAdapter testSpinnerAdapter = new TestSpinnerAdapter(getResources().getStringArray(R.array.array_name));
mTestSPN.setAdapter(testSpinnerAdapter);
In string.xml
<string-array name="array_name">
<item>Array Item One</item>
<item>Array Item Two</item>
<item>Array Item Three</item>
</string-array>
