Have you looked at the DatePicker? This allows you to set a date very easily: datepicker image

You can follow this tutorial

If you do not want to use a DatePickker, you can try to use an OnTouchListener and a Handler to do this yourself, but this is hard to do.

I understand that you are trying to hold a button (widget) and while holding it to increase the year.

If this is the case then this link should help you. The idea is that you use a timer to update the ui. Something similar is also described here. If your problem is just setting the date though, a simpler way could be the one suggested by Sam above.
