Question

I am currently testing things for my app and I seem to be having trouble doing some things, when the screen was touched how would i make my app recognise it?

Answer 1

I will give you this sample code to get you started:

public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent e, MapView mv){
        int i = e.getAction();

        switch(i){

        case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
            //When your finger touches the screen

            break;

        case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
            //When your finger stop touching the screen

            break;

        case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
            //When your finger moves around the screen

            break;
        }

        return false;
    }
