[android-developers] Re: Alternatives to Multitouch
2009/7/20 Desu Vinod Kumar vinny.s...@gmail.com HI That means look like Scale frame in Photo Stream example. I also want to do the same multi touch zoom functionality in my app. By this conversation Multi touch functionality is not yet implemented now ,it is not possible to add in my app . The hack someone came up with to put multitouch works fine with both MT enabled and non-MT enabled phones, except you need a root'd phone to load the custom firmware on. In any case even though I can use MT, it is rather convulted to use and I hated it, I'd much prefer some pop up slider that shows, regardless if it's circular or vertical along one edge. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Can the ringer/speaker volume + / - keys be utilized for a general zoom in / out. I guess there will be UI complications if you are handling a call at the same time.

[android-developers] Re: Alternatives to Multitouch
An under-used feature that might be useful here is fat touch event.getSize() in onTouch will return over about .4 for fat two- finger touches. That way you can have two-finger movements along a top-left to bottom- right control zoom. Could be nice, but hard to test in the emulator. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

No it's not the most obvious, it's the most annoying. Have a look at the default dialer app in contacts, it uses a semi-transparent slider that shrinks/grows to minimise it's screen realestate when you do/don't need to use it and then you can scroll up/down the list quickly when you do, that is MUCH more obvious and a slider type zoom is used every day on a lot of things. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Alternatives to Multitouch
And if we're talking about circles, there was that HTC image viewer where you can zoom in and out by doing a circle gesture. Add some realtime feedback to it, and it's interesting IMO :) On Sunday, July 19, 2009, Alexey Krasnoriadtsev ale...@agilefusion.com wrote: double tap, that circles through predefined zoom levels. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Alternatives to Multitouch
I would agree with the previous post - the early demo video on the HTC Magic of using a circular motion for zooming looked even more useful than pinching, since it can be done more easily with a single hand on the phone. It doesn't appear to have made it to the initial releas of the phone, but may still come in a future update. The usage looked like this: Double-tap screen displays a gray circle overlay with a button on the circle. CW circle motion = Zoom In, CCW circle motion = Zoom Out. Looks useful, could become a standard on the phone... http://www.androidcentral.com/android-has-sweet-circular-zoom-video On Jul 19, 1:07 pm, Zsolt Váradi karma...@gmail.com wrote: And if we're talking about circles, there was that HTC image viewer where you can zoom in and out by doing a circle gesture.

[android-developers] Re: Alternatives to Multitouch
Currently I'm writing an app that contains an image viewer. I implemented zooming as follows: Zoom in: Long press; Then a zoom-in icon appears at your finger-location. Then drag a rectangle (with aspect ratio of your screen) from your current finger position to another position; Move your finger off the screen; Then the selected rectangle will expand to the size of your screen, with the contained image, effectively zooming in. Zoom out: Touching the screen shows a zoom-out icon on the bottom of the screen. It'll stay there for about 2 seconds after you release the screen. When touching and holding the zoom-out icon, you'll zoom out, until you move your finger off the screen. A short press and then moving your finger will allow you to move the image under your finger.

Hi, There is no easy way to do that, specially because you might have other functionality assigned to one finger specific gestures.
