How to deal with continuously pressed state of the button image in QML?

QML:

I wish to keep the button image "pressed" for a minute and I want to perform a incremental calculation in that minute.

I can deal with a single click and release, but how to go about the "continuously pressed" state of the button image?

I had heard about animations and transitions in qml. Do they have something to do here?

Assuming you mean QtQuick.Controls Button: make it a toggle button, i.e. set "checkable" to true. Reset the "checked" property to false once your calculation is done.

Optionally make untoggling the button stop the calculation

I don't want that.

BTW, has the transitions/animations to do something with the "continuously pressed" state?

Then you'll have to rephrase your question. My interpretation was that you wanted a button to stay down/pressed until some trigger returns it to up/unpressed.
