# LongPressGesture
**LongPressGesture** is used to trigger a long press gesture, which requires one or more fingers with a minimum 500 ms hold-down time.
> **NOTE**
>
> This gesture is supported since API version 7. Updates will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.
## APIs
LongPressGesture(value?: { fingers?: number, repeat?: boolean, duration?: number })
Triggers a long press gesture. In components that support drag actions by default, such as **Text**, **TextInput**, **TextArea**, **HyperLink**, **Image**, and **RichEditor**, the long press gesture may conflict with the drag action. If this occurs, they are handled as follows:
If the minimum duration of the long press gesture is less than 500 ms, the long press gesture receives a higher response priority than the drag action.
If the minimum duration of the long press gesture is greater than or equal to 500 ms, the drag action receives a higher response priority than the long press gesture.
**Atomic service API**: This API can be used in atomic services since API version 11.
**Parameters**
| Name| Type| Mandatory| Description|
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| fingers | number | No| Minimum number of fingers to trigger a long press gesture. The value ranges from 1 to 10.
Default value: **1**
**NOTE**
If a finger moves more than 15 px after being pressed, the gesture recognition fails.|
| repeat | boolean | No| Whether to continuously trigger the event callback.
Default value: **false**|
| duration | number | No| Minimum hold-down time, in ms.
Default value: **500**
**NOTE**
If the value is less than or equal to 0, the default value **500** will be used.|
## Events
| Name| Description|
| -------- | -------- |
| onAction(event:(event: [GestureEvent](ts-gesture-settings.md#gestureevent)) => void) | Invoked when a long press gesture is recognized.
**Atomic service API**: This API can be used in atomic services since API version 11.|
| onActionEnd(event:(event: [GestureEvent](ts-gesture-settings.md#gestureevent)) => void) | Invoked when the last finger is lifted after the long press gesture is recognized.
**Atomic service API**: This API can be used in atomic services since API version 11.|
| onActionCancel(event: () => void) | Invoked when a tap cancellation event is received after the long press gesture is recognized.
**Atomic service API**: This API can be used in atomic services since API version 11.|
## Attributes
| Name| Type |Description |
| ---- | ------ | ---------------------------------------- |
| tag11+ | string | Tag for the long press gesture. It is used to distinguish the gesture during custom gesture judgment.
**Atomic service API**: This API can be used in atomic services since API version 11.|
| allowedTypes14+ | Array\<[SourceTool](ts-gesture-settings.md#sourcetool9)> | Allowed event input types for the long press gesture.

## Example
This example demonstrates the recognition of a long press gesture using **TapGesture**.
```ts
// xxx.ets
@Entry
@Component
struct LongPressGestureExample {
@State count: number = 0
build() {
Column() {
Text('LongPress onAction:' + this.count).fontSize(28)
// Touch and hold the text with one finger to trigger the gesture event.
.gesture(
LongPressGesture({ repeat: true })
// When repeat is set to true, the event callback is triggered continuously when the gesture is detected. The triggering interval is specified by duration (500 ms by default).
.onAction((event: GestureEvent) => {
if (event && event.repeat) {
this.count++
}
})
// Triggered when the long press gesture ends.
.onActionEnd((event: GestureEvent) => {
this.count = 0
})
)
}
.height(200)
.width(300)
.padding(20)
.border({ width: 3 })
.margin(30)
}
}
```
