You can use a UIGestureRecognizer. Specifically, what you are looking for is a UILongPressGestureRecognizer

You should instantiate one and attach it to the view you would like to track the gesture on:

    UILongPressGestureRecognizer* gestureRecognizer = [[UILongPressGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleGesture:)];
    [view addGestureRecognizer:gestureRecognizer];

Then, in your handler method you would do the rest:

- (void)handleGesture:(UILongGestureRecognizer *)recognizer {

     if (recognizer.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateBegan) {    

     } else if (recognizer.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded) {

     }
 }

EDIT: for the popover implementation, have a look at WEPopover
