Simulate touch, hold, move in android debug bridge

Question

Rather than using a drag or swipe command in the android debug bridge or AndroidViewClient like this:

device.drag((600,800),(600,1200), 1000) 
device.shell('input touchscreen swipe 600 800 600 1200 1000')

Is there some way to simulate something like the following?

1. press down on some coordinates (eventType=DOWN)
2. sleep 2 seconds (i.e. keep holding there)
3. move to some other coordinates
2. sleep 2 seconds (i.e. keep holding there)
5. release (eventType=UP)

Basically, you touch, hold there for a few seconds, drag and keep holding there for a few seconds, then release the pad.

If you take a look at AdbClient.longPress() you will see how the long press event is sent for some keys:

    if name in KEY_MAP:
        self.shell('sendevent %s 1 %d 1' % (dev, KEY_MAP[name]))
        self.shell('sendevent %s 0 0 0' % dev)
        time.sleep(duration)
        self.shell('sendevent %s 1 %d 0' % (dev, KEY_MAP[name]))
        self.shell('sendevent %s 0 0 0' % dev)

You can do something similar for your case. To get an idea of what you should write, do the same set of events you mentioned and analyze them using getevent.
