Question

I have scrollview widget with one child (myrect)

I want to detect the touch ended event for “myrect” however currently it only detects the “began” phase !!

here is the complete code

 --main.lua
 local widget = require "widget"

 local myscrollview = widget.newScrollView{}

 local myrect = display.newRect(0, 0, display.contentWidth, 68)                  
 myrect:setFillColor(255,100,100,255)
 myscrollview:insert(myrect)

 local function ontouch(event)

    if event.phase == "ended" then
            print("event ended")
    end
end
myrect:addEventListener( "touch", ontouch )

what I need is a basic functionality it is strange that corona does not support that or maybe I am missing something

Many thanks

Thank you SatheeshJM your code for some how give me wrong result so when I click anywhere outside the rect the “touch ended event ” will be fired

but finally I have the solution Just in case if anyone is interested

here is the enhanced version of the solution

Thanks to Danny http://developer.anscamobile.com/forum/2012/05/15/scrollview-problem

and Jonathan Beebe for this helpful workaround https://gist.github.com/1590908

local widget = require "widget"

local myscrollview = widget.newScrollView{}

local myrect = display.newRect(0, 0, display.contentWidth, 68)                  
myrect:setFillColor(255,100,100,255)
myscrollview:insert(myrect)

local function ontouch(event)

    if event.phase == "moved" then
        local dx = math.abs( event.x - event.xStart )
        local dy = math.abs( event.y - event.yStart )

        if dx > 5 or dy > 5 then
            myscrollview:takeFocus( event )
        end
    elseif event.phase == "ended" then
    display.getCurrentStage():setFocus(nil)
            print("event ended")
    end

    return true
end
myrect:addEventListener( "touch", ontouch )
