java - How to replace click button with hold? -

hi want make button work buy holding set number of seconds instead of clicking on it, button in question opens new jframe,

 button.addactionlistener(new actionlistener() {             public void actionperformed(actionevent ae) {                 frame.dispose();                 new secondframe();             }         }); 

thanks,

as suggested codebender, can use mouselistener instead.which have mousepressed() , mousereleased() methods.i have calculated time currenttimemillis() between each successive press/release.

jframe f = new jframe(); jbutton b = new jbutton(); f.add(b); f.pack(); f.setvisible(true); b.addmouselistener(new mouselistener() {     long start_time, stop_time;     @override     public void mouseclicked(mouseevent e) {}      @override     public void mousepressed(mouseevent e) {         start_time = system.currenttimemillis();         system.out.println("" + start_time);     }      @override     public void mousereleased(mouseevent e) {         stop_time = system.currenttimemillis();         system.out.println("" + stop_time);         if (stop_time - start_time > 1000) {             new jframe().setvisible(true);         }     }      @override     public void mouseentered(mouseevent e) {}      @override     public void mouseexited(mouseevent e) {} });  

you can increase or decrease given time.also @ mouseadapter.
