Multi-touch gestures

[rpseng]

Hi All,

This is a very interesting project, congrats on keeping it running. It should be nice to have support for multi-touch commands.

I can program in Java very well and already have the server side code running under eclipse over here. However I've never compiled code for android. Unfortunately, this will need changes in the client side. Any good (fast) tutorial on how to compile the client side code?

All the best.

The first and most important step is to download the android sdk. After installing that, it should be a simple matter of importing the project in eclipse (as an android app). After that, you should be able to debug the application. On Aug 1, 2013 3:46 PM, "rpseng" notifications@github.com wrote:

Any luck/trouble? If you need better instruction, I can probably put together a (very) short walkthrough, although existing youtube videos should suffice.

Dear Tsaukpaetra,

Actually I manage to build the code (client and server) and successfully added support for two finger scrolling. You will need just to edit the ControlView.onTouchMove as follows:

private void onTouchMove(MotionEvent event){
    if (this.mouseMoveOrWheel){
        if(event.getPointerCount()==2){
        // a new pointer, start a wheel event
            this.mouseMoveOrWheel = false;
            onTouchDownMouseWheel(event);
            this.holdPossible = false;
        }
        else
        this.onTouchMoveMouseMove(event);
    }
    else{
        this.onTouchMoveMouseWheel(event);
    }
}

I'm not used to Github (I'm a subversion user) and I'm not sure how to send a patch. Further, I have played with the code in several points...

All the best!

If you make a patch and drop it somewhere I could probably apply it. I'll test the code snippet you posted above. ;)
