hey guys......
i was wondering weather onTouchEvent and onKeyDown in a same view under a same activity creates problem.
bcos m facing problem wid these two wen i touch the screen den onKeyDown doesn't recognize key event.....

i hv attached a simple code wid problem.....m a newbie in android programming so m not much familiar wid any flags or methods to get this work right......

P.S.: if we move trackball just after touch it works but any other key just after touch doesn't work...

Please describe ur problem.
What exactly you want to do onTouch and onKey events?

hey,
m facing same problem, problem with particular code is when screen is touched and just after that any key is pressed onKeyDown wont get called. only trackball event is recognized just after touching event.
u can see it easily by running code given code.

hi all,

ya u right jaxx it is same problem in my code....

and one more problem coming when we touch the screen in the application, its works like a fireKeyPressed() but i want that its works like a fireKeyReleased().. is it possible....? plz give me solution if any......
my sample code...use in app..

public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
int x = (int) event.getX();
int y = (int) event.getY();

switch (event.getAction()) {
case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
switch (currentState) {
case SHOW_MAINMENU:
................
......
break;
}
break;
}

return super.onTouchEvent(event);
}

Try the android.view.GestureDetector.OnGestureListener
Say you want to enable touch gestures on a button.

findViewById(R.id.buttonid).setOnTouchListener(
new View.OnTouchListener() {
gestureDetector.onTouchEvent(event);
}

return true;
}
});



final GestureDetector gestureDetector = new GestureDetector(
new GestureDetector.SimpleOnGestureListener() {

//For single click touch gestures use onSingleTapUp
public boolean onSingleTapUp(final MotionEvent e) {
//Do something here on tap or click...

return true;
}

//For swipe touch gestures use onFling
public final boolean onFling(final MotionEvent e1,
final MotionEvent e2, final float velocityX, final float velocityY) {

return true;
}

});

hi hebbalhrk thanx for reply...

but it is not a button. It is some area on the screen. just like small box... i want to create touch-event but problem is that it is working on touch...not touch release....just like KeyReleased()...

Check out the attachment for a sample touch gesture demo.
It uses touch events to drag and drop an image.

hi hebbalhrk thank for reply,
i do this for simple touchEvent.....
but my problem is trackball press is not working after just touchEvent, it works when we trackball up or down or left to right....
other problem is touchevent works only finger down(touch on image..), but i want touchevent works on finger release on image..

Switching between modes can be a problem sometimes. However, this is an Android architectual choice. Read this: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/ ... -mode.html
