Adding a LongClick to a Database ListView Android

Question

I have been trying to implement a LongClick on my database for quite some time, but for now it is only a short click that works. I'm writing in android an I have a database that I am trying to delete records from. Here's my code so far,

protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    //THIS IS TO DELETE FROM DATABASE, NEED TO IMPLEMENT LONGCLICK
    Vehicle toDelete = ((ArrayAdapter<Vehicle>) l.getAdapter()).getItem(position);
    VehicleDataSource vds = new VehicleDataSource(this);
    vds.deleteVehicle(toDelete);
    getLoaderManager().restartLoader(0, null, this);

}

Heres my delete vehicle method in my VehicleDataSource class,

  public synchronized void deleteVehicle(Vehicle v) throws SQLException {
      SQLiteDatabase db = dbHelper.getWritableDatabase();
      db.delete(MySQLiteHelper.TABLE_VEHICLE, 
              MySQLiteHelper.COLUMN_ID + " = ?", new String[] {v.getId() + ""});
  }

If anyone could give me any tips or any help that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Set an OnItemLongClickListener on your ListView, then handle interactions with the selected view in your on boolean onItemLongClick (AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) method. It might be worth checking out the documentation on handling input events.
