You should use GestureDetector to determine the long press, like the following:

final GestureDetector gestureDetector = new GestureDetector(new GestureDetector.SimpleOnGestureListener() {
        public void onLongPress(MotionEvent e) {
            Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Long press", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
    });

    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
        return gestureDetector.onTouchEvent(event);
    };

Snippet:

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnLongClickListener {


@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);    

    View yourView = (View) findViewById(R.id.longclickview);
    yourView.setOnLongClickListener(this);
}

@Override
public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
    Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), 
            "Long press",
            Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    return false;
}
