Swiping in Android port

Post by Kasperelo »

So, how does swiping work on love-android-sdl2? I've read a bit about love.touchmoved() but can't really seem to understand it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I remember a library for gestures in LÖVE called Swingers but I'm not really sure if it is still working.

About the new Android API, there's nothing too complicated, the trio is:

love.touchpressed(id, x, y, pressure)
love.touchmoved(id, x, y, pressure)
love.touchreleased(id, x, y, pressure)

and these 3 functions represent the "life cycle" of each touch. You would need to code something if you want gesture support (this if it's not a library for this already). Good luck!

EDIT: Try to avoid Martin's android-sdl port (terrific work but there's official support now).

What do you mean by Martin's port? Isn't that the official Löve one?

Maybe he meant the 0.9.2 version?
lf = love.filesystem
ls = love.sound
la = love.audio
lp = love.physics
lt = love.thread
li = love.image
lg = love.graphics

Sorry, and yes, I meant to use the official API support in LÔVE 0.10.0, there are some key differences like you may notice, like the coordinates (now we have real pixels and not 0-1 ranges) and the id not being a number.

EDIT: There's a snippet in the wiki which shows you how to use touches in 0.10.0: https://love2d.org/wiki/love.touch.getPosition

To use them in love.touchpressed/released/moved, it's almost the same as in the old port, just remember the id is not a number anymore.
