mobile_long_press_on_screen_at_coordinates

Perform a long press action at specific screen coordinates on mobile devices to trigger context menus, drag-and-drop operations, or element interactions during mobile automation testing.

Instructions

Long press on the screen at given x,y coordinates. If long pressing on an element, use the list_elements_on_screen tool to find the coordinates.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`device`	Yes	The device identifier to use. Use mobile_list_available_devices to find which devices are available to you.
`x`	Yes	The x coordinate to long press on the screen, in pixels
`y`	Yes	The y coordinate to long press on the screen, in pixels
`duration`	No	Duration of the long press in milliseconds. Defaults to 500ms.

Implementation Reference

src/server.ts:372-386 (registration)

Registers the MCP tool 'mobile_long_press_on_screen_at_coordinates' with Zod input schema (device, x, y) and inline handler that retrieves the Robot for the device and invokes its longPress method.

tool(
	"mobile_long_press_on_screen_at_coordinates",
	"Long Press Screen",
	"Long press on the screen at given x,y coordinates. If long pressing on an element, use the list_elements_on_screen tool to find the coordinates.",
	{
		device: z.string().describe("The device identifier to use. Use mobile_list_available_devices to find which devices are available to you."),
		x: z.number().describe("The x coordinate to long press on the screen, in pixels"),
		y: z.number().describe("The y coordinate to long press on the screen, in pixels"),
	},
	async ({ device, x, y }) => {
		const robot = getRobotFromDevice(device);
		await robot.longPress(x, y);
		return `Long pressed on screen at coordinates: ${x}, ${y}`;
	}
);

src/android.ts:441-444 (helper)

AndroidRobot implementation of longPress: performs a stationary swipe (ADB input swipe) lasting 500ms at the given coordinates.

public async longPress(x: number, y: number): Promise<void> {
	// a long press is a swipe with no movement and a long duration
	this.adb("shell", "input", "swipe", `${x}`, `${y}`, `${x}`, `${y}`, "500");
}

src/ios.ts:199-202 (helper)

IosRobot implementation of longPress: delegates to WebDriverAgent (wda) longPress method.

public async longPress(x: number, y: number): Promise<void> {
	const wda = await this.wda();
	await wda.longPress(x, y);
}

src/mobile-device.ts:190-192 (helper)
MobileDevice (for simulators) implementation of longPress: invokes mobilecli 'io longpress x,y' command.
```
public async longPress(x: number, y: number): Promise<void> {
	this.runCommand(["io", "longpress", `${x},${y}`]);
}
```
src/robot.ts:125-125 (helper)
Robot interface declaration for the longPress method, implemented by concrete robot classes.
```
longPress(x: number, y: number): Promise<void>;
```
