To handle touch input events, read the array
motionEvents in your game loop. These
contain events that have happened since the last time these arrays were cleared.
The number of events contained is stored in motionEventsCount.
Iterate and handle each event in your game loop. In this example, the
following code iterates motionEvents and handles them via handle_event:
for(size_ti=0;i < mApp->motionEventsCount;++i){GameActivityMotionEvent*motionEvent=mApp->motionEvents[i];intaction=motionEvent->action;intactionMasked=action & AMOTION_EVENT_ACTION_MASK;intptrIndex=(action & AMOTION_EVENT_ACTION_POINTER_INDEX_MASK)>>
AMOTION_EVENT_ACTION_POINTER_INDEX_SHIFT;structCookedEventev;memset(&ev,0,sizeof(ev));if(actionMasked==AMOTION_EVENT_ACTION_DOWN||actionMasked==AMOTION_EVENT_ACTION_POINTER_DOWN){ev.type=COOKED_EVENT_TYPE_POINTER_DOWN;}elseif(actionMasked==AMOTION_EVENT_ACTION_UP||actionMasked==AMOTION_EVENT_ACTION_POINTER_UP){ev.type=COOKED_EVENT_TYPE_POINTER_UP;}else{ev.type=COOKED_EVENT_TYPE_POINTER_MOVE;}ev.motionPointerId=motionEvent->pointers[ptrIndex].id;ev.motionIsOnScreen=motionEvent->source==AINPUT_SOURCE_TOUCHSCREEN;ev.motionX=GameActivityPointerInfo_getX(&motionEvent->pointers[ptrIndex]);ev.motionY=GameActivityPointerInfo_getY(&motionEvent->pointers[ptrIndex]);if(ev.motionIsOnScreen){// Use screen size as the motion range.ev.motionMinX=0.0f;ev.motionMaxX=SceneManager::GetInstance()->GetScreenWidth();ev.motionMinY=0.0f;ev.motionMaxY=SceneManager::GetInstance()->GetScreenHeight();}handle_event(&ev);}
When you are done, remember to clear the queue of events that you have just
handled:
android_app_clear_motion_events(mApp);
