How to recognize long-press gesture in ember-based app?

Question

Now I'm developing mobile app based on html5 and phoneGap.The JS famework is ember.The specification of the app requires to respond to long-press gesture. But the long-press event isn't ember build-in event.

What should I do to recognize the gesture and connect to event handling(controller or route)?

I was able to accomplish this with mouseUp and mouseDown but you can use the touchStart and touchEnd events I'm sure. See here

I setup a jsbin, but here's the relevant code:

var myfunction = function() { 
  alert('held');
}

App.ApplicationView = Ember.View.extend({
  mouseDown: function(e){
   var runLater = Ember.run.later(this, myfunction, 1000);
    this.set('pressed', runLater);
  },

  mouseUp: function (e) { 
    Ember.run.cancel(this.get('pressed'));
  }
})
