Question

I want to give the user a haptics feedback when he/she touches a specific location on screen, bounded by x and y coordinates like a rectangle, something like this:

if (x > 050
                        && x < 100
                        && y > 50
                        && y < 100) {
// do some code

//then enter haptics feedback
}

the only way I got is to add haptics to certain views like buttons, is it applicable on a general touch event??

thanks in advance

Answer 1

You can utilize the vibrator system service at any given time. Small sample that could go into the if block of your question (vibrates for 500ms):

Vibrator v = (Vibrator) ctx.getSystemService(Service.VIBRATOR_SERVICE);
v.vibrate(500);

ctx is a context instance here

But don’t forget to add the relevant permission into the manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE" />
