Multitouch access for each finger

in Android Processing • 8 months ago

Hi,

Would it be possible for you guys to do something like this:

Create an Array called (e.g) FingersOnScreen. It is an Array with a Length and up to <how much the devices supports> entries maximum. Each element is a "Mouse", so that you con detect the x-value of the third finger (sorry, I am using C# more often, so that this syntax might be wrong) FingerOnScreen[2].X It would be perfect. The array has no entries, when no finger touches the devices. IMHO such a functionality would be gorgeous for a for-Loop and for games on Android :) BTW: A event FingerOnScreen would be needed as well ;)

Thanks for your response,

Florian

Sure, it would be possible for "us guys" to do that. It would probably even be possible for "you guy" to do it yourself.

There are a lot of topics here about Multi Touch...

Here's a (rather old) blog ost about it, that helped me a lot back in the day http://www.akeric.com/blog/?p=1411

The Ketai library may also help... http://code.google.com/p/ketai/

Actually I used it within eclipse not in the p5 IDE, and I have no idea how to run it with p5 IDE. I'm not really a programmer so it's really not that hard to do.

When I have some time I will post the code of the project I used it in and provide a link
