You will need to pay attention to the MotionEvents yourself, watching for ACTION_POINTER_DOWN and ACTION_POINTER_UP on the same pointer. So long as you have seen a DOWN and not the corresponding UP, the finger has not left the screen. You may or may not care about ACTION_MOVE or other events related to this finger.
And with that, you have pretty much exhausted my knowledge of MotionEvents, so if you have follow-up questions, I'm hoping somebody else can help... :-) On Thu, Jul 7, 2011 at 8:13 PM, Joseph bates <[email protected]> wrote: > So I am working on my first android game and I am going along with > assistance from Beginning Android Games by Mario Zechner.
