  The best way I've been able to simulate a long press on a table view is by the following:

  var touched = false;
  tableview.addEventListener('click', function(e)
  {
      touched = false;
  });
  tableview.addEventListener('touchstart', function(e){
      touched = true;
      setTimeout(function(){
          if (touched)
              alert("Long press");
      },1000);
  });
  tableview.addEventListener('touchmove', function(e){
      touched = false;
  });
  tableview.addEventListener('touchend', function(e){
      touched = false;
  });
  

  Instead of an alert you can use Titanium.UI.OptionDialog to display options.

• Try the code below:

  var tStart;
  profileTable.addEventListener('touchstart', function(e) {
      Ti.API.info("touchstart fired");
      tStart = new Date();
  });
  profileTable.addEventListener('touchend', function(e) {
      Ti.API.info("touchend fired");
      var tEnd = new Date();
      if (tEnd.getTime() - tStart.getTime() > 500) {
          Ti.API.info("Long press");
      }
  });
