I see in all of the videos that they use their index finger but that just seems so awkward, so I use my thumbs. Has everyone just gotten used to using their index finger or do you use your thumbs as well?

View 13 Replies View RelatedI understand calling onTouchEvent from views to get the location of the last touch as a motion event. How the heck can I tell that a figure is down on the screen and has not been lifted and when the finger is lifted?
For instance there is onKeyDown and onKeyUp for use when you are dealing with keyboard input. So how can I find out when on fingureUp happens?
I have a motion listener to detect finger down, finger drag, and finger up. I start my action at finger down and finish my action at finger up. When the action is finished, I store it in a stack for allowing undo. My problem is that if I don't get a finger up event, I can't finish my action to add it to the stack for undo.
How can I detect that the user's finger has left the screen?
I tried using the emulator to see if getEdgeFlags() ever returned anything useful, and the result was always 0.
Basically, if a finger leaves the screen, then nothing is touching the screen anymore and I would like to detect that as a finger up event. How can I do this?
I can't find a tutorial on Google for my problem. I'm french and i don't find the best "google keywords" for to describe my goal. I decided to ask the question here.
I want to do an animation between views like on the Home or on the Calendar in week mode. I want the switch between the views follows the finger. As I have not released the pressure, I see a part of the current view an a part of the next view.
Currently, I use a AnimatorView and 2 gestures. But the change happens when the pressure is released, and it's not good.
Can someone explain to me how to do or where to find a tutorial that explain? ps : please, don't laugh about my english, it's worst when I speak with my very french accent :P
I'm adding 5 ImageView to an linear layout at runtime, so far so good, but what i would like to do is, when the user slide his finger over one of them, i would like to change the image, so my question would be, how can i know what's the current imageview under the user finger.?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI was checking the possibility to allow painting on the screen of a surface (i.e. API demo Fingerpainting example), however when I checked it, this technic apparently only allows painting with the tip of your finger, if you try to use any other object (pencil, thick pen, etc.) it does not draw anything on the surface. Am I missing something here? Is there a way to allow other objects to draw things on a surface? Is this achievable and how should I proceed?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a ListView. When I click a row Item (which are just TextView instances) I want them to remain hilighted (default orange color). The default behavior is that they flash orange.
Strangely, if I use the key pad (arrow up/down) to move between items, it has the exact behavior I want. Why is the logic different between using the keypad or with finger tapping?
is there any application to get screen off by fast finger touch?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to create an event to change what my image button looks like, but only when it is being pushed down. So far I have been using an onTouch listener, but that just changes it permanently. I can't find anything like an onKyeUpListener() type of thing for the button.
Does anything like this exist? code...
I am designing a Game and have a large background. The background it a lot bigger than the phone display so the user will only have a small "View" of the background. They will be able to move around by scrolling with their finger.
How do i go about this?

just downloaded, havent played yet, but if its like the Iphone one, very simple amusing game.
I'm having a conceptual problem with a simple application.
I have an empty FrameLayout and I want for a certain event to being continuously repeated until the finger leaves the display.
If I apply:
### code ###
frameLayout.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() { public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) { myEvent(); return false; }});
With Android 4.1.1 I had a browser with 1-finger-zoom...will say, I could swipe left or right on the side of the screen to zoom in and out.
Now with 4.1.2 this feature isn't there any longer...
Any way to get this version of browser back? An app to flash or something like that?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've got a view where I override onTouchEvent to detect touching the view with a finger and also to detect lifting the finger from the view. I'm getting the ACTION_DOWN event but not the ACTION_UP event. In fact, onTouchEvent isn't getting called when I life my finger. Could it be that the finger-down and then finger-up is considered a click event and so onTouchEvent is not called? If so, what use is ACTION_UP?
View 15 Replies View RelatedIn the Android API examples there is a Snake game. This game uses a class called SnakeView, which inherits from TileView.
I am doing something very similar to this. I am inheriting from TileView to create a class (SkyView), which will become a square board for a board game (similar to the board for Checkers).
However, I would like for my game board to be 400x400 pixels in size, which will be bigger than the screens of some Android devices (such as the G1). And I would like for the user to be able to freely scroll and drag the board around with their finger (both horizontal and vertical scrolling/dragging).
Can someone please point me in the correct direction for implementing this? The board must be no smaller than 400x400px in size. And however much of the board that can be displayed at once on the screen, should be displayed at once.
Should I wrap my SkyView widget in an AbsoluteLayout and use Scrollbars? If so, what Scrollbar properties to I need to use? I played around with Scrollbars in both directions but couldn't get it to work. Is there another view layout I should put it inside? Code examples would be nice! Thanks for the help. I am at a loss with this one.
I am programming an android application and my "testing" device is a Motorola Milestone (Droid). I have done a grid that scroll like the iPhone home menu ( with "points").
I got two problems:
The first one : the drag only works on the Android Device Emulator and don't on the Droid! (Maybe the multi-touch screen is a problem?) The drag is too responsible, and flip views sometimes one by one (this is ok) and sometimes 2 by 2 or 3 by 3! That is clearly problematic!
Here is the code of my OnTouch method: Code...
Update : It doesn't work anymore on the Google Nexus One!
I found event handler: dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent) works differently between G1 & emulator when finger is holding on touch screen.
I have a class inherited from RelativeLayout and override public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) method. After I touch & hold on the touch screen, in emulator I got MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN event only. But in G1, I got MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN first and then MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE continuously, even if I try my best to hold still my finger tip.
I wonder if this is because there is pressure field in the MotionEvent. Because the blood pressure on finger tip changes continuously with heart beat, so no matter how still my finger is, the pressure value still changes. But I wonder if all kinds of touch screen have pressure factor in their touch event? Will all touch screen driver emit touch event continuously when finger is holding on the screen?
I've an ImageView in a LinearLayout, how can I detect when user drag his finger from any place in the screen to inside of ImageView?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've had a screen protector on my HTC Desire since I got it (brilliant phone!). Two black vertical lines started to appear on the screen (only really visible when the background screen was white). So, I decided to take off the screen protector and risk scratching the screen.
However, without the screen protector, when I moved my finger on the screen I started getting a tingling sensation in my finger (a bit like that sensation when there's static around). I tried it for a few days and it's still the same. Has anyone else had this?
(This is the first capacitive touch screen I've had- I've only had Symbian UIQ touch phones in the past. I'm going back to having a screen protector which although not as smooth as the screen is at least comfortable to touch!)
Is there any other alternative to this? such as a password/pass code unlock instead? I'm a bit unsure, as the pattern lock seems to me maybe easier to crack if someone were to get their hands on the phone, appears to be no limit on how many attempts you can make also.I know this might be a long shot but is there anything out there such as a finger print unlock?
