com.oorian.messaging.events.client.TapHoldEvent
public class TapHoldEvent extends TouchEvent
Represents a tap-and-hold gesture event that occurs when a user touches and maintains contact on a touch-enabled device.

This event is fired when the user touches a point on a touch surface and holds their finger in place for an extended period. It extends TouchEvent as it is part of the touch interaction framework and is dispatched to registered TouchListener instances for processing. This event is commonly used to trigger context menus, tooltips, or alternative actions on touch-enabled interfaces.

Features:

  • Detects prolonged touch gestures on touch devices
  • Part of the touch event framework
  • Equivalent to right-click or long-press actions
  • Integrates with the touch event listener pattern

Usage:


 // Create a tap hold event
 TapHoldEvent event = new TapHoldEvent();

 // Dispatch to a listener to handle tap-and-hold gestures
 event.dispatchTo(myTouchListener);

 // Common use case: show context menu
 public void onEvent(TapHoldEvent event) {
     System.out.println("Tap and hold detected");
     showContextMenu();
 }
