If you are coding in Kotlin, use this,: button.setOnLongClickListener{//write here what you want to do} — MMG, Apr 01 '20 at 07:01

If it's a button (or infact any View), use the setOnLongClickListener method.

button.setOnLongClickListener(new OnLongClickListener() { 
        @Override
        public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            return true;
        }
    });
