I'm using the iteminvokedHandler and was wonder if there is a better way to interact with the listView.
Currently using this:
WinJS.UI.processAll(root).then(function () {
var listview = document.querySelector('#myNotePad').winControl;
listview.addEventListener("iteminvoked", itemInvokedHandler,false);
function itemInvokedHandler(e) {
e.detail.itemPromise.done(function (invokedItem) {
myEdit();
});
};
});
The problem is that everytime I click on the listview myEdit() is run and propagates within the listview. I was wondering how to do it once and stop invoking listview until I am done with myEdit? Is there a simpler way to handle such a situation as this?
Simple yet hard to see when you have a mind block and forget some of the basics (yes yes I'm still learning):
var testtrue = true;
WinJS.UI.processAll(root).then(function () {
var listview = document.querySelector('#myNotePad').winControl;
listview.addEventListener("iteminvoked", itemInvokedHandler,false);
function itemInvokedHandler(e) {
e.detail.itemPromise.done(function (invokedItem) {
if (testtrue === true){
myEdit();
}
});
};
});
In myEdit:
function myEdit() {
var theelem = document.querySelector(".win-selected #myNotes");
var gestureObject = new MSGesture();
gestureObject.target = theelem;
theelem.gestureObject = gestureObject;
theelem.addEventListener("pointerdown", pointerDown, false);
theelem.addEventListener("MSGestureHold", gestureHold, false);
function pointerDown(e) {
e.preventDefault();
e.target.gestureObject.addPointer(e.pointerId);
}
function gestureHold(e) {
if (e.detail === e.MSGESTURE_FLAG_BEGIN && test === true) {
e.preventDefault();
editNotes();
} else {
}
console.log(e);
}
theelem.addEventListener("contextmenu", function (e) {
e.preventDefault();}, false); //Preventing system menu
};
function editNotes() {
//The Code I wish to execute
return test = false;
};
What I needed was a conditional statement so that it would run if true and not if false. That same test needed to be done in the gestureHold otherwise it would continue to fire myEdit on the invoked item because of the way the gesture is attached to the item the first time it is run.
I have a code that determines if current browser window or tab is active. If it's active, the title of the tab says "active" and if not it says "blurred"
It is working fine. Here's the code:
$(window).on("blur focus", function (e) {
var prevType = $(this).data("prevType");
if (prevType != e.type) { // reduce double fire issues
if (e.type == "blur") {
document.title = 'blurred';
} else if (e.type = "focus") {
document.title = 'focus';
}
}
$(this).data("prevType", e.type);
})
The code above is working fine.
Now if I add AJAX to it, it doesn't work.
$(window).on("blur focus", function (e) {
var prevType = $(this).data("prevType");
if (prevType != e.type) { // reduce double fire issues
if (e.type == "blur") {
document.title = 'blurred';
} else if (e.type = "focus") {
var interval = function () {
$.ajax({
url: "<?php echo base_url('home/get') ?>",
cache: false,
success: function (html) {
$("#text").val(html);
document.title ='focus';
},
});
};
setInterval(interval, <?php echo $int ?>);
}
}
$(this).data("prevType", e.type);
})
It says focused if it's in focus. If I go out of focus, it says "blurred" for less than a second, then says focus again. I don't know why. I want it to say blurred if it's not in focus. Adding the AJAX code doesn't make it work.
Please help. Thanks.
You need to use clearTimeout() in your blur event. My code continuously polls my server for data, but when I go out of the page, it stops polling. Please look at the implementation below. I have done the similar one in my application here:
$(window).blur(function() {
clearTimeout(getJsonTmr);
clearTimeout(updatePreviewTmr);
}).focus(StartTimers);
function StartTimers () {
// Every half a second,
getJsonTmr = setInterval(function () {
$.get("/doodles/update?getJson&DoodleID=" + DoodleOptions.DoodleID, function (data) {
data = JSON.parse(data);
if (!DoodleOptions.isActive)
clearDoodleCanvas();
$.each(data, function (index) {
drawFromStream(data[index]);
});
});
}, 500);
updatePreviewTmr = setInterval(function () {
$.post("/doodles/update?updatePreview", {
"DoodleID": DoodleOptions.DoodleID,
"DoodlePreview": canvas.toDataURL()
});
}, 5000);
}
StartTimers();
You can use the above code as reference and change yours.
A simple reference implementation for you...
function timers() {
tmrAjax = setInterval(function () {
$.get(/* ... */);
}, 1000);
}
timers();
$(window).blur(function () {
clearInterval(tmrAjax);
}).focus(timers);
I do what something like:
$('div > img').onAll('load', function() { alert('Loaded!') })
Which would alert "Loaded!" only once
I don't want this:
$('div > img').on('load', function() { alert('Loaded!'); });
because this would call the event after every single image has been loaded
Is there any ready function in jQuery that calls an event on a set of matches? Or do I have to write a custom function for it?
Create your own method
$.fn.onAll = function(ev, callback) {
var xhr = [];
this.each(function() {
var def = new $.Deferred();
var ele = document.createElement(this.tagName.toLowerCase());
ele['on'+ev] = function() {
def.resolve();
}
ele.src = this.src;
xhr.push(def);
});
$.when.apply($, xhr).then(callback);
return this;
}
to be used as
$('div > img').onAll('load', function() { alert('Loaded!'); });
FIDDLE
Try this
var $images = $("div > img")
, imageCount = $images.length
, counter = 0;
// one instead of on, because it need only fire once per image
$images.one("load",function(){
// increment counter everytime an image finishes loading
counter++;
if (counter == imageCount) {
// do stuff when all have loaded
alert('Loaded!');
}
}).each(function () {
if (this.complete) {
// manually trigger load event in
// event of a cache pull
$(this).trigger("load");
}
});
try something like this
$('body').on('load','div > img',function() { alert('Loaded!') });
Happy Coding :)
Is it possible to implement "long press" in JavaScript (or jQuery)? How?
(source: androinica.com)
HTML
Long press
JavaScript
$("a").mouseup(function(){
// Clear timeout
return false;
}).mousedown(function(){
// Set timeout
return false;
});
There is no 'jQuery' magic, just JavaScript timers.
var pressTimer;
$("a").mouseup(function(){
clearTimeout(pressTimer);
// Clear timeout
return false;
}).mousedown(function(){
// Set timeout
pressTimer = window.setTimeout(function() { ... Your Code ...},1000);
return false;
});
Based on Maycow Moura's answer, I wrote this. It also ensures that the user didn't do a right click, which would trigger a long press and works on mobile devices. DEMO
var node = document.getElementsByTagName("p")[0];
var longpress = false;
var presstimer = null;
var longtarget = null;
var cancel = function(e) {
if (presstimer !== null) {
clearTimeout(presstimer);
presstimer = null;
}
this.classList.remove("longpress");
};
var click = function(e) {
if (presstimer !== null) {
clearTimeout(presstimer);
presstimer = null;
}
this.classList.remove("longpress");
if (longpress) {
return false;
}
alert("press");
};
var start = function(e) {
console.log(e);
if (e.type === "click" && e.button !== 0) {
return;
}
longpress = false;
this.classList.add("longpress");
if (presstimer === null) {
presstimer = setTimeout(function() {
alert("long click");
longpress = true;
}, 1000);
}
return false;
};
node.addEventListener("mousedown", start);
node.addEventListener("touchstart", start);
node.addEventListener("click", click);
node.addEventListener("mouseout", cancel);
node.addEventListener("touchend", cancel);
node.addEventListener("touchleave", cancel);
node.addEventListener("touchcancel", cancel);
You should also include some indicator using CSS animations:
p {
background: red;
padding: 100px;
}
.longpress {
-webkit-animation: 1s longpress;
animation: 1s longpress;
}
#-webkit-keyframes longpress {
0%, 20% { background: red; }
100% { background: yellow; }
}
#keyframes longpress {
0%, 20% { background: red; }
100% { background: yellow; }
}
You can use taphold event of jQuery mobile API.
jQuery("a").on("taphold", function( event ) { ... } )
I created long-press-event (0.5k pure JS) to solve this, it adds a long-press event to the DOM.
Listen for a long-press on any element:
// the event bubbles, so you can listen at the root level
document.addEventListener('long-press', function(e) {
console.log(e.target);
});
Listen for a long-press on a specific element:
// get the element
var el = document.getElementById('idOfElement');
// add a long-press event listener
el.addEventListener('long-press', function(e) {
// stop the event from bubbling up
e.preventDefault()
console.log(e.target);
});
Works in IE9+, Chrome, Firefox, Safari & hybrid mobile apps (Cordova & Ionic on iOS/Android)
Demo
While it does look simple enough to implement on your own with a timeout and a couple of mouse event handlers, it gets a bit more complicated when you consider cases like click-drag-release, supporting both press and long-press on the same element, and working with touch devices like the iPad. I ended up using the longclick jQuery plugin (Github), which takes care of that stuff for me. If you only need to support touchscreen devices like mobile phones, you might also try the jQuery Mobile taphold event.
For modern, mobile browsers:
document.addEventListener('contextmenu', callback);
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/contextmenu
jQuery plugin. Just put $(expression).longClick(function() { <your code here> });. Second parameter is hold duration; default timeout is 500 ms.
(function($) {
$.fn.longClick = function(callback, timeout) {
var timer;
timeout = timeout || 500;
$(this).mousedown(function() {
timer = setTimeout(function() { callback(); }, timeout);
return false;
});
$(document).mouseup(function() {
clearTimeout(timer);
return false;
});
};
})(jQuery);
$(document).ready(function () {
var longpress = false;
$("button").on('click', function () {
(longpress) ? alert("Long Press") : alert("Short Press");
});
var startTime, endTime;
$("button").on('mousedown', function () {
startTime = new Date().getTime();
});
$("button").on('mouseup', function () {
endTime = new Date().getTime();
longpress = (endTime - startTime < 500) ? false : true;
});
});

For cross platform developers (Note All answers given so far will not work on iOS):
Mouseup/down seemed to work okay on android - but not all devices ie (samsung tab4). Did not work at all on iOS.
Further research its seems that this is due to the element having selection and the native magnification interupts the listener.
This event listener enables a thumbnail image to be opened in a bootstrap modal, if the user holds the image for 500ms.
It uses a responsive image class therefore showing a larger version of the image.
This piece of code has been fully tested upon (iPad/Tab4/TabA/Galaxy4):
var pressTimer;
$(".thumbnail").on('touchend', function (e) {
clearTimeout(pressTimer);
}).on('touchstart', function (e) {
var target = $(e.currentTarget);
var imagePath = target.find('img').attr('src');
var title = target.find('.myCaption:visible').first().text();
$('#dds-modal-title').text(title);
$('#dds-modal-img').attr('src', imagePath);
// Set timeout
pressTimer = window.setTimeout(function () {
$('#dds-modal').modal('show');
}, 500)
});
The Diodeus's answer is awesome, but it prevent you to add a onClick function, it'll never run hold function if you put an onclick. And the Razzak's answer is almost perfect, but it run hold function only on mouseup, and generally, the function runs even if user keep holding.
So, I joined both, and made this:
$(element).on('click', function () {
if(longpress) { // if detect hold, stop onclick function
return false;
};
});
$(element).on('mousedown', function () {
longpress = false; //longpress is false initially
pressTimer = window.setTimeout(function(){
// your code here
longpress = true; //if run hold function, longpress is true
},1000)
});
$(element).on('mouseup', function () {
clearTimeout(pressTimer); //clear time on mouseup
});
You could set the timeout for that element on mouse down and clear it on mouse up:
$("a").mousedown(function() {
// set timeout for this element
var timeout = window.setTimeout(function() { /* … */ }, 1234);
$(this).mouseup(function() {
// clear timeout for this element
window.clearTimeout(timeout);
// reset mouse up event handler
$(this).unbind("mouseup");
return false;
});
return false;
});
With this each element gets its own timeout.
This worked for me:
const a = document.querySelector('a');
a.oncontextmenu = function() {
console.log('south north');
};
https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/GlobalEventHandlers/oncontextmenu
You can use jquery-mobile's taphold. Include the jquery-mobile.js and the following code will work fine
$(document).on("pagecreate","#pagename",function(){
$("p").on("taphold",function(){
$(this).hide(); //your code
});
});
Most elegant and clean is a jQuery plugin:
https://github.com/untill/jquery.longclick/,
also available as packacke:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/jquery.longclick.
In short, you use it like so:
$( 'button').mayTriggerLongClicks().on( 'longClick', function() { your code here } );
The advantage of this plugin is that, in contrast to some of the other answers here, click events are still possible. Note also that a long click occurs, just like a long tap on a device, before mouseup. So, that's a feature.
I needed something for longpress keyboard events, so I wrote this.
var longpressKeys = [13];
var longpressTimeout = 1500;
var longpressActive = false;
var longpressFunc = null;
document.addEventListener('keydown', function(e) {
if (longpressFunc == null && longpressKeys.indexOf(e.keyCode) > -1) {
longpressFunc = setTimeout(function() {
console.log('longpress triggered');
longpressActive = true;
}, longpressTimeout);
// any key not defined as a longpress
} else if (longpressKeys.indexOf(e.keyCode) == -1) {
console.log('shortpress triggered');
}
});
document.addEventListener('keyup', function(e) {
clearTimeout(longpressFunc);
longpressFunc = null;
// longpress key triggered as a shortpress
if (!longpressActive && longpressKeys.indexOf(e.keyCode) > -1) {
console.log('shortpress triggered');
}
longpressActive = false;
});
In vanila JS if need to detect long-click after click released:
document.addEventListener("mousedown", longClickHandler, true);
document.addEventListener("mouseup", longClickHandler, true);
let startClick = 0;
function longClickHandler(e){
if(e.type == "mousedown"){
startClick = e.timeStamp;
}
else if(e.type == "mouseup" && startClick > 0){
if(e.timeStamp - startClick > 500){ // 0.5 secound
console.log("Long click !!!");
}
}
}
May need to use timer if need to check long-click while clicking. But for most case after release click is enought.
For me it's work with that code (with jQuery):
var int = null,
fired = false;
var longclickFilm = function($t) {
$body.css('background', 'red');
},
clickFilm = function($t) {
$t = $t.clone(false, false);
var $to = $('footer > div:first');
$to.find('.empty').remove();
$t.appendTo($to);
},
touchStartFilm = function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
fired = false;
int = setTimeout(function($t) {
longclickFilm($t);
fired = true;
}, 2000, $(this)); // 2 sec for long click ?
return false;
},
touchEndFilm = function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
clearTimeout(int);
if (fired) return false;
else clickFilm($(this));
return false;
};
$('ul#thelist .thumbBox')
.live('mousedown touchstart', touchStartFilm)
.live('mouseup touchend touchcancel', touchEndFilm);
You can check the time to identify Click or Long Press [jQuery]
function AddButtonEventListener() {
try {
var mousedowntime;
var presstime;
$("button[id$='" + buttonID + "']").mousedown(function() {
var d = new Date();
mousedowntime = d.getTime();
});
$("button[id$='" + buttonID + "']").mouseup(function() {
var d = new Date();
presstime = d.getTime() - mousedowntime;
if (presstime > 999/*You can decide the time*/) {
//Do_Action_Long_Press_Event();
}
else {
//Do_Action_Click_Event();
}
});
}
catch (err) {
alert(err.message);
}
}
You can use jquery Touch events. (see here)
let holdBtn = $('#holdBtn')
let holdDuration = 1000
let holdTimer
holdBtn.on('touchend', function () {
// finish hold
});
holdBtn.on('touchstart', function () {
// start hold
holdTimer = setTimeout(function() {
//action after certain time of hold
}, holdDuration );
});
like this?
target.addEeventListener("touchstart", function(){
// your code ...
}, false);
