Determining Long Tap (Long Press, Tap Hold) on Android with jQuery

Question

I\'ve been able to successfully play with the touchstart, touchmove, and touchend events on Android using jQuery and an HTML page. Now I\'m trying to see what the trick is t

Answer 1

Although it is not jQuery but I've done it this way in my Android app:

1. registered events listeners:

   var touchStartTimeStamp = 0;
   var touchEndTimeStamp   = 0;
   
   window.addEventListener('touchstart', onTouchStart,false);
   window.addEventListener('touchend', onTouchEnd,false);
   

2. added functions:

   var timer;
   function onTouchStart(e) {
       touchStartTimeStamp = e.timeStamp;
   }
   
   function onTouchEnd(e) {
       touchEndTimeStamp = e.timeStamp;
   
       console.log(touchEndTimeStamp - touchStartTimeStamp);// in miliseconds
   }
   

3. checked time difference and did my stuff

I hope this will help.
