After releasing my product, I've started getting complaints that a certain screen was not working for some phones. After a lot of research and a lot of attempts to fix this issue, I found out that phones that are controlled by heat instead of pressure have this issue. Unfortunately I have only identified the problem. What is happening is the mouse up and mouse move motion events seem to be the same motion. Here is how my code works:
if(event.getAction()==MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE)
{
lockdown=true;
}
else if(event.getAction()==MotionEvent.ACTION_UP && lockdown==false)
{
...
}
else if(event.getAction()==MotionEvent.ACTION_UP)
{
...
lockdown=false;
}
This code works on a pressure touch phone like mine just fine. It's designed that while the touch is dragged certain things will not function. I could really use some insight on how to fix this issue.
after an exhuasting night of going back and forth with my testers this is what ive come up with
// somewhere in the prior code a pressure sample is needed
public float dwnPressure
if(event.getAction()==MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN)
{
dwnPressure=float(event.getPressure()*0.99)
}
back to the code where i had problems
if(event.getAction()==MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE)
{
if(event.getPressure>dwnPressure)
{
lockdown=true;
}
}
else if(event.getAction()==MotionEvent.ACTION_UP && lockdown==false)
{
...
}
else if(event.getAction()==MotionEvent.ACTION_UP)
{
...
lockdown=false;
}
this change works perfectly on some of the phones that had the problem prior. Some phones there is a significant performance improvement but is a bit finicky. I figured id at least share my hard work even if it isn't 100%, since this question wasn't answered as fast as im used to on stackoverflow
