android - How can I use adb to send a longpress key event?

Question

I can use something like:

adb shell input keyevent 4

and this will send a single 'Back' button press to my device. How can I send a longpress?

Thanks

You can try this command:

adb shell input touchscreen swipe 170 187 170 187 2000

Your application position on screen is 170, 187; delay time is 2000 (ms);

Long press HOME key:

adb shell sendevent /dev/input/event2 1 172 1
adb shell sendevent /dev/input/event2 0  0 0
timeout 1
adb shell sendevent /dev/input/event2 1 172 0
adb shell sendevent /dev/input/event2 0  0 0

You can goto cmd and type adb shell getevent | find "event2" ; long press HOME key to see more.
