Change your OnTouchListener like this:

hidenBtn.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
            int action = event.getActionMasked();
            if (action == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
                firstTime=System.currentTimeMillis();
                Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Pressed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                return true;
            } else if (action == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP
                    || action == MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL) {
                Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Released", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                secondTime=System.currentTimeMillis();
                if(secondTime-firstTime>=5000){
                    //do your actions here,prev,curr are fields in a class
                    ShowDialog();
                }
                else{
                    firstTime=0;
                    secondTime=0;
                }
            }
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            return false;
        }
    });

You are returning false at ACTION_DOWN which means you are not consuming your touch event, so no other steps of the same event are triggered. Therefore you need to return true in the ACTION_DOWN so you can intercept ACTION_UP.
