try this

You can use Touch Listener to do this.

Try:

Handler handler = new Handler();
    b.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {

        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View arg0, MotionEvent arg1) {
            switch (arg1.getAction()) {
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
                handler.postDelayed(run, 5000/* OR the amount of time you want */);
                break;

            default:
                handler.removeCallbacks(run);
                break;

            }
            return true;
        }
    });

Where b is the view (in your case it should button) on which you want to make long click.

And Runnable run is as follows

Runnable run = new Runnable() {

    @Override
    public void run() {
        // Your code to run on long click

    }
};

Hope it will help... :)
