I want to take an action when a user touches and holds a Text Field for say 2 seconds.

Currently pressing and releasing brings focus and editing to that field. This is Ok.

However if held for >= 2 seconds, I want to perform a different action on this data.

Thoughts?

PS:

            VinText.addPointerPressedListener(e -> {
                try {
                    e.consume();
                    Dialog.show("VINText Event", "Event isLongEvent = [" + e.isLongEvent() + "] Type = " + e.getEventType(), "OK", null);
                } catch (Exception er) {
                    er.printStackTrace();
                }
            });

Returns my Dialog immediately. Don't know how to determine if this was pressed for a period of time.

Also e.isLongEvent() returned false

I have looked at addActionListener results, it returns Edit and LongEvent = false when I press and hold this field for say 2 or more seconds.

Text input is handled natively in Codename One as it's a pretty special case.

Overriding the native editing behavior isn't a good direction.

Any suggestions on how to capture an event when  a user touches and holds a Text Field for say 2 seconds then upon release I will take an action.

You can derive and override the component and the longPress callback but as I said before that's a bad idea.
