Question

I am using Javascript to handle the longpress event it will working fine when using on simple HTML pages, but when I’m using this code in Phonegap/Android, it does not work, the code is given below:

$(document).ready(function() {
  debugger;
  var mousedowntime;
  $('#Button1').mousedown(function() {
    var d = new Date();
    mousedowntime = d.getTime();
    //alert('Handler for .mousedown() called.');
    //start a timer
  });
  $('#Button1').mouseup(function() {
    // debugger;
    //alert('Handler for .mouseup() called.');
    //stop the timer and decide on long click
    var d = new Date();
    //alert("mousedowntime=" + mousedowntime);
    presstime = d.getTime() - mousedowntime;
    //alert("presstime=" + presstime);
    if (presstime > 999/*You can decide the time*/) {
      //Do_Action_Long_Press_Event();
      alert("Long pressed.");
    } else {
      //Do_Action_Click_Event();
      alert("Click.");
    }
  });
});

Try using the touchstart and touchend events

So:

$('#Button1').on('touchstart',function() {
    //Logic
});

$('#Button1').on('touchend', function() {
    //Logic
});
