Android :: How Do I Temporarily Disable / Bypass Android OnTouchEvent
Oct 2, 2010
To provide feedback from the user for game I'm writing.This event fires off some game control events that take some time to complete (because there is animation involved).The problem I'm having is during the animation if I keep touching the screen (AKA firing this event),Basically while the animation is running, I do not need this event, although it would be nice to queue it.What can I do to prevent the timeout and either queue the event, or temporarily disable it?

Any app that kills sms texting not just when driving (there's more than one for that) but that disables it period or has a toggle that works to stop texting all the time. Especially receiving texts.

Users of my application will engage a feature that temporarily uses the accelerometer. I would like to disable support for orientation changes while this feature is active. Is there an API for this?

My main activity has some code that makes some database changes that should not be interrupted. I'm doing the heavy lifting in another thread, and using a progress dialog which I set as non-cancellable. However, I noticed that if I rotate my phone it restarts the activity which is REALLY bad for the process that was running, and I get a Force Close.
What I want to do is programatically disable screen orientation changes until my process completes, at which time orientation changes are enabled.

I have Google Voice, which I recently discovered counts against my minutes when it sends me a transcript/recording of my voicemails (this is because VZ forwards calls to GV and charges for the time). I am leaving the country and the cost of calls overseas is $2/minute. I need to avoid charges for calls where people leave me voicemail messages, so I need to disable GV for the time I'm overseas. I can't figure out how to temporarily disable GV.

I'm getting the system update prompt every time I turn on my damn phone; I need to follow the guide that shows you how to keep root when going to 2.2:
Stock 2.1 to Fully Rooted Froyo 2.2
But I probably won't have time to do that until next weekend. In the meantime, is there a way to temporarily disable this update notice?

I've been pulling my hair out trying to achieve smooth scrolling in an OpenGL-based app on Eclair. It seems that no matter what I do, I cannot get more than 36 events per second (the rest is sent in history data which is useless in my case). This happens on both the emulator and the Motorola Milestone.Is this a hardcoded limit or am I doing something wrong? I'm implementing onTouchEvent on the activity and recording how many events are received per second and then send that info through Log.v to Eclipse. I also tried implementing onTouchEvent on the view instead of the activity and the results are the same.

I want to catch any onTouchEvent() on the mapview. After search lots of questions&answers, I found only when I write my own MapView(MyMapView)and define onTouchEvent, then use this MyMapView in main activity.

I am stuck in a situation,where I have onClick() method & onTouchEvent method. The situation is the my onTouchEvent is handling the fling gestures (like left,right), after each fling i am changing the Layout & presenting new one for the user. On each layout i have some buttons & they have the onClick() set. Now when i do the gesture nothing happens & sometimes the onClick gets called. how i can make these two methods to work correctly?

I've got a problem with a flood of touch events destroying my game's framerate while there is a touch active. Basically onTouchEvent is called (with getAction = ACTION_MOVE, x = 0 and y = 0) about a hundred times a second for as long as the finger is touching the screen. I've tried returning from onTouchEvent straight away, and even removing its implementation at all, but it doesn't help - the app slows to a crawl as soon as a finger is down. I asked on the IRC channel and Romain Guy advised me that they're aware of the problem but didn't have time to fix it for Cupcake, so I'm not expecting a full solution!

I have several complaints from Moto DROID users who experience lags while touching. In my app I implement the recommended workaround with two threads and Thread.Sleep( 35 ) . It worked and works perfectly on my G1 and on some other Google devices. But for DROID I hear many complaints. As I don't have a DROID, could someone please tell me if there is still a need for this workaround? Or shall I have to do anything else?

i need left, right motion event and a click event . problem is that, if i have onclickEvent then onTouchEvent doesn't fire. onTouchEvent works only if i disable onclickEvent and also it doesn't work what i expect.
1-only ACTION_MOVE fires twice everytime when i move on screen.
2-can't get left and right motion.

I've got an onTouchEvent boolean on a Surfaceview, I've got openGL objects drawn on the view and I'm wondering is there anyway to detect where on the screen the onTouch happened? e.g (x,y) co-ordinates.

I'm making an application which will utilize both touchevents and sensorevents. The problem with touchevents is that they fire off very often, and thereby consumes massive amounts of CPU time. The common solution is to do a Thread.sleep to make it cool down.However, if one wants to use both the onTouchEvent and onSensorChanged in the same activity, applying the Thread.sleep hack will also slow down onSensorChanged. This is obviously caused by the two methods being called from the same (ui) thread.Is there some way to call onTouchEvent from a different thread than the ui, so one could do the Thread.sleep trick without slowing down onSensorChanged as well?

Does anybody have any idea why I get often(but not always) error during the on touch event? Handling touch events is freezed for few seconds(this appears only immediately after application start). Then Error screen appears (choose wait of close). When I choose wait after few seconds screen is starting to process events. I'm using surfaceView with thread for painting. In logcat I get something like : "No window to dispatch pointer action 1".

what is best way to create app in which I only need to draw simple lines through onTouchEvent? When i use invalidate everytime i draw any line, that erase lines i draw before. But if I use some List structure to store drawed lines it lose performance. Is there any simple way to do it?

I'm looking for a way in an Android application to store a password within the memory as long as the application is running (cf. different activities). I was first thinking about the SharedPreferences, but then it's saved in the flash memory, which isn't that good for a password, I guess.
I'm unsure, what's the best way. What would you recommend me?

I'm trying to do something in my app where you have to hold your finger on the screen for more than 30 seconds. After about 30 seconds, it stops sending onTouchEvents for that part of the screen, almost like a "dead zone." Tested on a motorola droid, and is there any way to stop this from happening?

Is it possible to make an Activity temporarily not rotatable (like, turning it on/off in code, not in the manifest)?
One of my old apps crashes if you rotate while it's doing an HTTP lookup as the views are no longer attached when it returns. One of these days I'll fix it proper, but in the mean time it'd be useful if I could just make the thing not-rotatable while it's doing the lookup.

I need to specify the full button images for both the up and down positions. My impression is that the most probable choice is to use an custom button based on the ImageView and specify the image for up and down positions. I am using the OnTouchEvent method to capture the ACTION_DOWN, but I'm not getting the ACTION_UP event.
Is there a better choice for creating a button that controls the full button image, catches the Down/Up and can subdivide the down time into time slices? If not, how do I catch the up event.
My application expects a screen touch on the "button" and not a keyboard action.

Is there an app that allows you to temporarily unlock your pattern then lock it back without going through settings? Because its gets real annoying to keep putting in my pattern when I'm home alone..

I am experiencing an annoying problem with an Android project in Eclipse. All my other Android projects are okey (at the moment). Whenever I perform a clean (Menu:Project->Clean...) the project gives an error and I can't compile/run the app. The error is: Project 'Project Name' is missing required source folder: 'gen'
As soon as I edit some code the problem disappears until I perform a clean again. I can also right-click on the gen-folder and delete it. Eclipse will recreate the gen-folder and the problem disappears until I perform a clean. This is not a showstopper but it is really annoying since I sometimes have to do a clean before I run the app.

I have a weird bug in my piano app. Sometimes keys (and thus notes) hang. I did a lot of debugging and narrowed it down to what looks like androids inaccuracy of motion event handling.Clearly it can be seen here that out of nowhere I suddenly have an ACTION_UP for another note. Shouldn't I definitely get a ACTION_MOVE first? As shown in the end of the log, it's definitely not an error in region detection, since the ACTION_UP event is clearly in the B4 region. Every onTouchEvent call is logged, so the log is accurate.

I've implemented a Class that extends Overlay and also override the onTap / onTouchEvent (tried both). Right now it seems like that event is triggered when you tap on the map regardless of position.How can I make sure that the event is triggered only when you tap over the overlay you have added?

I am doing an experimental project and want to send key events from one application to another. I know android doesn't allow applications to interfere each other in this way due to security concern. Is there any way i could bypass the security check? I've looked into the WindowManagerService class and made some modifications but it seems not working for me.
