Hi, Is there a way to capture or intercept touch events in the Android status bar? Currently the behavior looks like it displays the current date when I touch on the status bar and also pull down the expanded view. Is it possible to catch this touch event so that I can possibly launch an activity from this instead of displaying the date? Ideally if it can be done in the application level that would be great, but I'm not sure if it can be done that way.
I wrote a simple app that basically logs when onTouchEvent() or dispatchTouchEvent() is called from my customized view just to see what coordinates are captured when these callback functions are called. Whenever I touch on the status bar, onTouchEvent() or dispatchTouchEvent() are not getting called, which indicates some other event is getting called when the status bar is touched (??). But once I go beyond the border of the status bar (and the app title), these events are then called. My approach would have been to implement a service that listens when touch events are detected in the status bar, but if it can't even get those events(), not sure my approach would even work. If anyone can help, I will greatly appreciate it. R -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
