Auto-repeat Buttons in Android

To my surprise there doesn't seem to be an attribute with the standard android.View.Button class to make it auto-repeat while the Button is pressed. I've seen this behaviour in the DatePicker dialog, so assumed the behaviour is standard. Well, unless I'm going blind and just missed it, I went and wrote my own AutoRepearButton class.

For the Android fans out there, here is the source:

package com.spleenware;

import java.util.TimerTask;

import android.content.Context;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.widget.Button;

/**
 * Surprisingly, an AutoRepeatButton doesn't seem to be in the standard Android View frameworks.
 * So, simple implementation here. When Button is held down its onClickListener is called on a timer.

public class AutoRepeatButton extends Button
{
    public AutoRepeatButton(Context c)
    {
        super(c);
    }
    
    /**
     * Constructor used when inflating from layout XML 
     */
    public AutoRepeatButton(Context c, AttributeSet attrs)
    {
        super(c, attrs);
    }

    /**
     * TODO: These could be made variable, and/or set from the XML (ie. AttributeSet) 
     */
    private static final int INITIAL_DELAY = 900;
    private static final int REPEAT_INTERVAL = 100;
    
    private TimerTask mTask = new TimerTask()
    {
        @Override
        public void run()
        {
            if (isPressed())
            {
                performClick();  // simulate a 'click'
                postDelayed(this, REPEAT_INTERVAL);   // rinse and repeat...
            }
        }
    };
    
    @Override
    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event)
    {
        if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN)
            postDelayed(mTask, INITIAL_DELAY);
        else if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP)
            removeCallbacks(mTask);  // don't want the pending TimerTask to run now that Button is released!

        return super.onTouchEvent(event);
    }
    
}
