Get the duration of a touch in javascript

Question

Is it possible to get the duration of a touch using javascript on ios devices (and others if possible)? I would like to differentiate a long press from a short \"click\" pre

Answer 1

You can check the time to identify Click or Long Press [jQuery]

function AddButtonEventListener() {
try {
var mousedowntime;
var presstime;
$("button[id$='" + buttonID + "']").mousedown(function() {
    var d = new Date();
    mousedowntime = d.getTime();
});
$("button[id$='" + buttonID + "']").mouseup(function() {
    var d = new Date();
    presstime = d.getTime() - mousedowntime;
    if (presstime > 999/*You can decide the time*/) {
        //Do_Action_Long_Press_Event();
    }
    else {
        //Do_Action_Click_Event();
    }
});
}
catch (err) {
alert(err.message);
}
}
