Answer 1

Yes, you can use TouchAction class to longPress any element. Try this:

TouchAction action = new TouchAction();
action.longPress(webElement).release().perform();

Answer 2

Need to pass driver

TouchAction action = new TouchAction(driver);
action.longPress(webElement).release().perform();

Answer 3

It should be like this. The duration is calculated in milliseconds, so it need to multiply by 1000 as 1 second.

TouchAction action = new TouchAction(driver);
action.longPress(webElement,duration*1000).release().perform();

Answer 4

This works:

TouchActions action = new TouchActions(driver);
action.longPress(element);
action.perform();

Answer 5

In latest Java client versions below will work.

AndroidTouchAction touch = new AndroidTouchAction (driver);
touch.longPress(LongPressOptions.longPressOptions()
                .withElement (ElementOption.element (element)))
              .perform ();

System.out.println("LongPressed Tapped");

Answer 6

Here is the update for Java Client: 5.0.4

WebElement recBtn = driver.findElement(MobileBy.id("img_button"));
new TouchAction((MobileDriver) driver).press(recBtn).waitAction(Duration.ofMillis(10000)).release().perform();
