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. --~--~-

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. On Jul 18, 6:18 pm, Jason Van Anden wrote: > I need to zoom-in/zoom-out for my app.  Multitouch would be the most obvious > way

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

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 ma

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 wrote: > > double tap, that circles through predefined zoom l

Hi, There is no easy way to do that, specially because you might have other functionality assigned to one finger specific gestures. Anyway, here's a suggestion: zoom in: one finger double tap zoom out: one finger long press or wait for multi-touch support... --- Ricardo Castro --~--~--
