• ACTION_CANCEL

• requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(boolean)

• State reset on ACTION_UP / CANCEL

What to do?!?

seekBar.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() { @Override public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {

if (event.getMaskAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) { v.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true); } return false; }});

• ScaleGestureDetector: onScale

@Override public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) { boolean detectorHandled = mGestureDetector.onTouch(event); boolean superHandled = super.onTouchEvent(event); return detectorHandled || superHandled; } }

ViewConfiguration.java

• getScaleTouchSlop()

• getScaled…FlingVelocity()

• getLongPressTimeout()

Choreographer.java

void doFrame(long frameTimeNanos, int frame) { . . . doCallbacks(Choreographer.CALLBACK_INPUT, frameTimeNanos); doCallbacks(Choreographer.CALLBACK_ANIMATION, frameTimeNanos); doCallbacks(Choreographer.CALLBACK_TRAVERSAL, frameTimeNanos); . . . }

Multi-Touch

• ACTION_POINTER_DOWN / _UP

• ViewGroup MotionEvent splitting on _DOWN

• getActionIndex(), getX(int), getY(int)

parent ViewGroup

bounds

TouchDelegate

delegateView

• Parent bounds

• Click only checks
