In Android, event listening can be achieved through several methods:

  1. Implementing listeners with anonymous inner classes or custom classes: By implementing specific interfaces such as OnClickListener, OnLongClickListener, we can handle events in the callback methods.
  2. By using Lambda expressions for listeners: If using Java 8 or above, Lambda expressions can be used to simplify the implementation of listeners, for example, when handling button clicks using button.setOnClickListener(v -> { // handle click event });
  3. By using an inner class listener, you can define an inner class within an Activity or Fragment, implement a specific interface, and handle events in the callback methods.
  4. Implementing interface listener using anonymous inner class: You can directly use an anonymous inner class to implement an interface listener in an Activity or Fragment, for example button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { //handle click event } });
  5. Setting the onClick attribute in XML layout files allows you to define onClick behavior for buttons or other views in the XML layout, and then implement the corresponding method in the Activity to handle the click event.
  6. By using the event distribution mechanism, you can monitor touch events by overriding the View’s dispatchTouchEvent() or onTouchEvent() methods.
  7. Utilizing a broadcast receiver allows for monitoring system-level events such as changes in network status and battery status by registering the receiver.
  8. Use gesture recognizer: You can use a custom gesture recognizer to detect various gestures such as swiping or pinching.

It is important to note that different types of events may require the use of different listeners for monitoring.
