Nice, there goes another myth. I read about recycling the MotionEvent at a couple of places on the net. Thanks for clearing that up!
I wonder however why it is exposed as a public method. Additionally, the semantics of onTouch allow me to return a boolean indicating that i consumed the event (or not). So my reasoning was that in case i return true from onTouch and recycle the event, everything should work out fine. Maybe add to the documentation that it should never ever be called by an application? Anyways, thanks again! (if you have the time, seeing as you are obviously responsible for this part of the framework, could you have a look at the other discussion on multi-touch over here http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/be4151b4bc769a0/d5ec6cdfce2025be?lnk=gst&q=multitouch+bug#d5ec6cdfce2025be? :) On Jan 27, 7:17 pm, Dianne Hackborn <hack...@android.com> wrote: > On Tue, Jan 26, 2010 at 4:20 PM, Mario Zechner <badlogicga...@gmail.com>wrote: > > > That being said, there shouldn't be any problems with touch events on > > devices running android >= 2.0 as they fixed the event flood problem > > in that version.
