alturnitive method of the global and local contextual menus #335

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Have an older person attempt to do the angle gesters for global and local 
menus.
2. The results I have seen so far are hit and miss, mostly miss.
3. I spent most of the time working with my student on two angle gesters when 
time could have been spent working on google play store and other apps.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I am proposing that a 3 finger twist to the right barely be used for the global 
context menu and a 3 finger twist left be a local context menu gester.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
android 4.1 up to android 4.4, my devices are a HTC1 and a nexis5.
I am in Raleigh NC, a lot of my students are coming in with android phones but 
with the phone comes an older person who has shaky hands, the angle gesters are 
fine if your have no moter physical defects but when set physical defects come 
to play then things become quite hard. to do with gester base commands.
So my reason for creating this bug tracker is to see if a option for a 3 finger 
twist left and right could be coded into talkback with out running into legal 
issues with apple.
Please provide any additional information below.
I appreciate everything you do casey and the rest of the team, do keep in mind 
that as we see the deth of flip phones more people are going to come over to 
android and that other platform.  If a simple 3 figner twist barely left and 
right were add to android if possible it would really help android when over 
more users from the frooty company.

This feature has not been added in the form like you have requested it however 
now Google Talkback has implemented several things that may help mitigate this.

* There is a way to assign different actions to a list of predefined gestures. 
By default for example single finger left flick does the same thing single 
finger flick down does and the same way with single finger flick right and 
single finger flick up. So you may wish to either map change navigation level 
or open a global or local context menu to one of these redundant gestures.
* There are a few gestures where those have no action bound to them by default. 
If you like you can use one of those.
* There is an experimental feature called side tapping. You can even configure 
its sensitivity. It might be verry convenient to bring up local or global 
context menu by just tapping to the side of your device.

Given the fact this issue has not been acknovledged yet and other ways around 
it now exist I don't expect further activity on this.
