Getting error in Appium that mobile:longClick is not implemented..is there another way ?

[CS]

Hello, 

I'm automating a native Android app using Java and Appium version 1.2.0. I want to automate long press on a row in a list to bring up some options that are accessible through long press, right now  I test it manually. This is what I have tried: 

         WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30);

         HashMap<String,String> longtapObj= new HashMap<String,String>();

    WebElement elem = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//android.widget.ListView[1]/android.widget.RelativeLayout[1]")));

    JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;    

    longtapObj.put("element", ( (RemoteWebElement) elem).getId()  );

         js.executeScript("mobile:longClick", longtapObj);

Appium server log error: 

2014-09-02T23:29:45.808Z - debug: Request received with params: {"args":[{"element":"5"}],"script":"mobile:longClick"}

2014-09-02T23:29:45.810Z - debug: Responding to client that a method is not implemented

2014-09-02T23:29:48.518Z - info: --> GET /wd/hub/status {}

Eclipse JUnit error: 

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Not yet implemented. Please help us: http://appium.io/get-involved.html (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)

Command duration or timeout: 9 milliseconds

If a comment out the statement  js.executeScript("mobile:longClick", longtapObj);  no errors are thrown. Appreciate if anyone knows the right way to implement a log press using Appium in a native android app.

The java client has access to the TouchAction API, in which there is a longPress method. See https://github.com/appium/appium/blob/master/docs/en/writing-running-appium/touch-actions.md

Issac, 

I tried implementing this using the the TouchAction API. Evidently, this has only one constructor TouchAction(MobileDriver driver).  So :

WebDriver driver=null;

driver =  new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities); 

TouchAction action= new TouchAction(driver); 

gives error " The constructor TouchAction(WebDriver) is undefined. "

If I try

MobileDriver driver=null;

driver =  new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities); 

gives error " type mismatch: Cannot convert from RemoteWebDriver to MobileDriver"

So I tried casting: 

MobileDriver driver=null;

driver =  (MobileDriver) new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);

This removes the compiler error, but when the test runs, it fails: 

java.lang.ClassCastException: org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver cannot be cast to io.appium.java_client.MobileDriver

Am I missing another way to do this ?
