multi-touch

from the android doc alone i dont really understand the difference between ACTION_UP and ACTION_POINTER_UP. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/MotionEvent.html#ACTION_DOWN basically i want to capture the event when one finger is released from the screen (even if another one may still be touching it) thanks! I believe it stemmed from Multi-touch being added in, ACTION_UP has been in since API Level 1, but ACTION_POINTER_UP was added in API Level 5 when multi-touch was added. The result you get will depend on which method you are calling, getAction() would return ACTION_UP

How can you disable pinch or multitouch functionality in an Android MapView? It took me a little time but I have a solution for this. What I did is stop the event propagation if more than one finger is touching the screen. mapView.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() { public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) { if(event.getPointerCount() > 1) { return true; } return false; } }); Disable all Gestures: mapView.getMap().getUiSettings().setAllGesturesEnabled(false); Disable just Zoom mapView.getMap().getUiSettings().setZoomControlsEnabled(false); final UiSettings uiSettings = map

I have a touch event exception that is causing my game to crash on tablets (or more specifically, honeycomb)... My game works fine on my phone and I haven't heard of this happening to anyone that isn't running Android 3.0 or higher. Here is the relevant log info... E/AndroidRuntime(26487): java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: pointerIndex out of range E/AndroidRuntime(26487): at android.view.MotionEvent.nativeGetAxisValue(Native Method) E/AndroidRuntime(26487): at android.view.MotionEvent.getX(MotionEvent.java:1549) E/AndroidRuntime(26487): at kieran.android.asteroids.GameUI.onTouchEvent(GameUI

I am trying to get multiple touch events on a system overlay view, but am only receiving the MotionEvent.ACTION_OUTSIDE event. Is there any possible way of getting multiple touch events on a system overlay? Any examples or links would be very helpful. To create an overlay view, when setting up the LayoutParams you need to set the type to TYPE_SYSTEM_OVERLAY and use the flag FLAG_WATCH_OUTSIDE_TOUCH . This presents a problem because as the Android documentation states: you will not receive the full down/move/up gesture, only the location of the first down as an ACTION_OUTSIDE . In order to

I recently purchased a Magic Mouse. It is fantastic and full of potential. Unfortunately, it is seriously hindered by the software support. I want to fix that. I have done quite a lot of research and these are my findings regarding the event chain thus far: The Magic Mouse sends full multitouch events to the system. Multitouch events are processed in the MultitouchSupport.framework (Carbon) The events are interpreted in the framework and sent up to the system as normal events When you scroll with one finger it sends actual scroll wheel events. When you swipe with two fingers it sends a swipe

I successfully implemented a pinch a zoom of a view. However, the view doesn't position itself where I wished it to be. For the stackoverflowers with an iPad, I would like my view to be centered like on the iPad Photos.app : when you pinch&zoom on an album, the photos present themselves in a view that is expanding. This view is approximately centered with the top right hand corner on the first finger and the bottom left hand finger on the other finger. I mixed it with a pan recognizer, but this way the user always has to pinch, and then pan to adjust. Here are so graphic explanation, I could
