I've run into an issue where performing a lot of touch events seem to block the move events from the trackball. Anyone else run into this issues? I can't use the Thread.sleep() fix because that will obviously stop all input, so I'm hoping someone has been able to throttle the touch command without effecting the move ones.

i am using android.opengl.GLSurfaceView in my game, which is working well expect under one condition: Starting the game a second time after leaving it by pushing the home button, causes the game to flicker, because the rendering thread from the previous instance is still running and firing OpenGL commands. Now the question is, how can i ensure that only one instance of GLSurfaceView/GLSurfaceView.Renderer gets created?
To solve/workaround the problem i've tried to set the following properties in the manifest file to to ensure the activity gets shut down if it gets inactive.
android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation"
android:launchMode="singleTask"
android:multiprocess="false"
android:noHistory="true">
But without success, the activity/rendering thread still keeps running. Do you know of any certain way to exit the rendering thread/free GLSurfaceView?
I wonder if ne one had an major issue with their touch screen before like I had with mine. So I decided to post this little story. Let me start off with a little background info. I got my droid november 6, 5 46am central time zone. don't ask me how but the vzw dude was letting me earlier cuz I had work. I was so happy that day leaving t mobile I did love my g1 but wen I read all about the droid I felt likt I had to leave her and move on. She did do a lot for me but time tells all and it was my time go and move on.Untill two months ago (Present time I'm talking in) I realized not everyone has the bubbly keyboard. I saw friends at my unit (I'm in the army reserves) that bought the droid a couple of months after me had flat keyboards n they were bitching bout how flat it was. I agreed with them since I was woth a g1 the keyboard was a bit flat but nothing to were its such a pain, so my friend shows me his keyboard and I looked shocked played with it was like wow and I pulled my n did a side by side side comprasion and this before I saw the bubbley keyboard thread on here. So unforunately my toucscreen starting doin its own thing like it was ghost writer and spazzing out. I had no control over it this happened monday nite and I was dreading it that I will end up replacing it. But it would not let me do nothing.I couldn't go ne where on my screen it would randomly hit different icons to the point were sum times it would call my contacts. I only had control over the physical buttons. So on Tuesday during work I fought the ghost writer to let get to setting a do a system restore. First minute of the set up was ok but right wen it finish and I was on the home screen again. I was like FUDGE I don't want to replace my rare Droid. After work I replaced it, I was real pissed I had the bubbly keyboard and (something I didn't noticed untill I got my replacement) the golden plated volume side button. I miss my precious rare droid. I was soo proud to be first non employee to have the droid in houston.

So far every view I set up worked fine, but now I am trying to create a ListView (including single_choice_mode) within a child view of the ViewFlipper, but my attempt only let to a NullPointerException. As I only discovered ViewFlipper today, I am not yet familiar with it and may not have understood it completely. if someone could give me a hand and help me find out what I have done wrong, that would be great. Here is what I have done:
The code for the onClick event of the ImageButtons:
public void onClick(View v){
if (v == btnExposure){
mFlipper.setDisplayedChild(0); }
else if (v == btnProperties){
mFlipper.setDisplayedChild(1);}
else if (v == btnSpecialEffects){
mFlipper.setDisplayedChild(2);.............
I'm running Android on a Beagle Board and want to add support for input from the Xenarc 706TSA touchscreen. When I plug it in it's identified as:
generic-usb 0003:0EEF:0001.0004: input: USB HID v2.10 Pointer [eGalax Inc. USB TouchController] on usb-ehci-omap.0-2.3/input0
There's also an error:
drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c: usb_submit_urb(ctrl) failed
When I touch the screen there seems to be some kind of response as the focus disappears, but I cant press anything on the screen. I get touch events when using "getevent".
My current phone is a Behold, KRZR before that, and a Kyocera SOHO before that. I really like the Behold, it is by far the best phone I have used to date. But it is time for a change. I'm looking for a touchscreen phone with WiFi and Android and I don't want a data plan.
Requirements:
1) Touchscreen (no slider)
2) Android, preferably 2.2 or confirmed update in pipeline (or ability to root & update)
3) No Data Plan (I'm not willing to pay $30/month for something I won't often use)
4) WiFi
5) Fast processor, 800mhz or faster
6) Camera w/flash Possibilities:
1) Because I don't want data, I don't need 3g, so I could run an AT&T phone.
2) I am willing to root a phone, as long as the process is reasonably well explained in a how-to.
3) I am not looking for a new contract and am willing to pay outright for the phone.
4) If there is a phone that will work, I am willing to consider a phone not sold in the US, if I can get it on eBay or elsewhere. Remember, no data, no 3g, so that might open a few doors.
Has anyone heard of an application to disable the touchscreen while on a phone call. I keep putting it on mute.
View 8 Replies View RelatedThis is random, not necessarily towards the Hero, but I was listening to a podcast and they were talking about how the phone can be used completely from just the buttons/trackball, so I tried it on my Hero. I can scroll to any page, but I can't pick an icon.
It's interesting that the phone CAN do a lot without the touchscreen, but I think it's extremely difficult. Even if they WORK, they are so difficult to use, and the touchscreen is so easy, that I can't imagine anyone using the trackball more than the screen.
I was just wondering what you guys thought, even though the trackball does a lot, I really don't like using it EVER (unless I wrote a big word and I want to change a letter). And if they made a "Curve-style" phone with buttons and a smaller screen that wasn't touch, I think it would be horrible!
I see that there is a led notification and i was wondering if there is a trackball notification for the HTC Hero? Without Rooting the phone.

How can I disable the trackball in my app? I only want the buttons to work when you click them using the touchscreen.
Maybe this belongs somewhere else but not sure. I installed Universal Androot and ran it. Then I sarted uninstalling somethings I thought I didn't need.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an interactive image which uses OnTouchListener to get the coordinates. In doing so...if a user places their finger on the area it may hit it multiple times thus getting new coordinates within the area that plays the sounds...thus playing the sound twice. Any suggestions on how to clear up this issue?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm writing a simple tile based game using a canvas and a 5X5 grid of tiles. To determine if a tile is clicked I look at the MotionEvent supplied by onTouch. I get the coordinates when MotionEvent.event is ACTION_UP and translate to tiles. This works great on the emulator but when I touch on a device the actual coordinates of the touch register higher than I'd expect as a end user.
I'm wondering what strategies people have used to get a closer to "expected" result. Do you use a simple Y offset? Do you average the coordinates over the life of the touch? Do you use other methods?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have tried all day to capture a trackball event in a View. Basically I want to use the trackball to move a Sprite in a 2D game left and right. The onTouchEvent works perfectly well in the View to move the Sprite with my finger but it would be nicer and cleaner to use the trackball.Can anyone provide me with a simple example that uses the trackball to move something in a View in a 2D type game world (not a menu or UI type of example)? Or can someone explain what I'm not doing. Thanks so much for any help you can give me.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to move an image around the screen according to the trackball movement. I am able to capture the movements using the onTrackballEvent method. But this is being called for very small float values (I believe for each rotation?) of the trackball.Now as X and Y positions of views should be integers when specifying with LayoutParams, it makes no sense to move the view with every rotation. Instead I want to move the view only after the user stops rotating the trackball.Is there any method by which we can get whether the user stopped using the trackball or not?

View 1 Replies View RelatedWe can setup a vnc software or use remote desktop in windows 8 to access it on any android tablet with a vnc software.I have installed windows 8 on my pc and I do not have a touchscreen.I have a 10.1 inch android tablet. I have setup remote desktop on windows 8 and can access my pc's display on my tablet. But it can be used only with the mouse pointer given on screen. When I try to slide my finger on the screen for example, to navigate in the new start screen, instead of scrolling, the display of the screen moves and the blank space appears. This is because the vnc app is designed to work with a pc os that requires mouse.
But since this is windows 8, optimised for touchscreens, I want to use my tablet as the touchscreen monitor for windows 8 to use it as a tablet. I will keep my pc on and access it o n my tablet. Is this possible? Does vnc software for android that supports touch input for windows 8.
Is there a way to programmatically deselect/wipe whatever the user has selected with the trackball/trackpad When I hit the back button on an Activity, the Activity it falls back to has a button that is selected as if the user had used the trackball/pad. I'm not sure what is selected on the previous Activity, but obviously something is. I'd like to programmatically wipe any selection just before the Activity finishes.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to figure out how to continuously update the coordinates of the trackball. Right now, I just want to write the values on change to TextViews to understand how it works.
I've been looking at the onTrackballEvent. Right now, I assume that each event passed as an argument to it should be seen as a complete event, that is from the start of the trackball movement to the end. Is this correct? Because if so, the values of x and y will be the same during the execution of the onTrackballEvent body. If this would NOT be the case, I could just use a timer and update the values at a regular interval..
So either I have to somehow interrupt the onTrackballEvent call and write the values, repeatedly over and over again while it is still moving, which seems weird, or...well this is pretty much were my Google search skills and Android knowledge comes to a halt.
Is there a way I can make the LED or trackball pulse while my application is running and the screen is on? The same behavior as when a phone call is received for instance?
