Question

In order to develop and debug mobile and tablet applications, I’d like to be able to have my mouse emulate touchstart, touchmove, and touchend.

I have found two possibilities:

Phantom Limb

(doesn’t seem to work)

ChromeTouch

(Scrolls the page, but doesn’t fire touch events)

Does anyone know of an addon that will fire touch events in a desktop webkit browser?

Answer 1

The only thing I found to execute touchmove was to do something manually coded like this:

(function(){

var isDown = false
,   dragging
;

$('body').bind('mousedown', function(){ isDown = true; });
$('body').bind('mousemove', function(){ if(isDown) { dragging(); } });    
$('body').bind('touchmove', function(){ dragging(); });
$('body').bind('mouseup', function(){ isDown = false; });

dragging = function () {
    console.log('content being drug');
}

})();
