Question

I’m really struggling on an Android app in Phonegap and JQuery.

All I want to do is, as I drag my finger from left to right, I want to be able to output to screen exactly what my x position is.

I can’t use touchmove as that simply gives me the coordinates at the end of the movement, I need the real-time coordinates?

Are there any JQuery plugins I could use?

Does anyone have any ideas?

This ought to work:

text = document.getElementById('element to hold text'); // element that can write the x position

document.getElementById('element').ontouchmove = function (e) 
{e.preventDefault(); 
e.stopPropagation();
text.innerHTML = e.touches[0].clientX; //set the inner html of the text element to be the x position of the touch
};
