Make single taps more tolerant on Android 4.1 & 4.2 #74

Closed ghost closed 9 years ago

ghost commented 9 years ago

To tap on a piece instead of dragging it to move it is not so easy or intuitive. At the moment, you must hold down or press the destination square very quickly after tapping on your desired piece.

I recommend defaulting to standard lichess behaviour, that is, that one tap means the piece is selected and that a second tap on the same piece deselects it.

As an interim measure (since you want to make a release), you can make single taps leave the piece active for longer, though I strongly recommend (eventually) moving to standard Chessground behaviour.

You should have the standard chessground behavior by default.

I suspect you have an older version of Android, like 4.1. Do you confirm?

ghost commented 9 years ago

Yeah, this happens on 4.1. On 4.2 the single tap doesn't work at all!

Both versions share 20% of android usage. The app is still usable so we won't delay the release but we should definitely fix it. I'll post the issue in chessground.

Closing this as I think we won't fix for now. And also this is a chessground issue and should be posted in chessground project.
