Answer 1

It is pretty simple

public yourClass{
    long down;    
    public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent me) {
        //you don't need here the difference because it might be a down action!
        //you need the difference when the up action occurs
        switch (me.getAction()) {
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
                down = System.currentTimeMillis();
                break;
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
                //this is the time in milliseconds
                long diff = System.currentTimeMillis() - down; 
                break;
        }
    }
}
