mobile programming questions

I have a question involving the mobile programming, mainly the input for touch. I am in the development/design phase of the mobile game and i wanted to know if for the touch sensor specifically android if there is a function similar to onmousedown where i am touching a button and holding it down and while it is down to instantiate and fire a projectile.

thanks in advance for any and all help.

There is a stationary phase with the touch class.

So:

void Update()
		{
			if( Input.touchCount == 1 )
			{
				Touch touch_0 = Input.touches[0];
				
				switch( touch_0.phase )
				{
				case TouchPhase.Stationary:
					//Do checks here
					break;
				default:
					break;
				}
			}
		}
