Long press Listener?

[cph015]

Hello, I'm trying to read when an element is held (instead of clicked). Something similar to

myElement.addEventListener("click", () => {
  console.log('I am clicked');
});

 But with a hold event instead. I tried

myElement.addEventListener("hold", () => {
  console.log('I am held');
});

But I'm assuming 'hold' isn't an actual event name.  Can someone help me out? Thanks!

You can fudge this using "mouse" events and keeping track of time for screen touches. Even then, it doesn't work well with clockfaces because the system now uses a long-touch to start the Clocks app. For a clockface, you might be better trying to implement a double-tap (again using time).

I'm developing an app thankfully. But yeah, I came across that as a solution, but was hoping something better was out there.

Hey Fitbit Devs: Can this be added to a future sdk release? Is it in the works?

You can use this node module and see if it works. I haven't tested this module out so if you have an an issue with this then leave an issue on the respiratory here.
