How to simulate onLongClick?

How can I simulate onLongClick? Basically I need the user to click once - and a method to turn it into longClick without actually long clicking.

View dummyView = findViewById(R.id.dummy_view);
dummyView .setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            dummyView .performLongClick();
        }
    });

On Android, every View object has the method performLongClick, that allows you to simulate the action programmatically. But you have to set the listener before:

View dummyView = findViewById(R.id.dummy_view);
dummyView.setOnLongClickListener(new OnLongClickListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
        return true;
    }
});

And now you can call dummyView.performLongClick(), to simulate the longClick action
