I've created an onTouchListener for dragging Views. Images drag smoothly if I use getRawX() and getRawY(). The problem with that is the image will jump to the second pointer when you place a second pointer down then lift the first pointer.
This onTouchListener attempts to fix that issue by keeping track of the pointerId. The problem with this onTouchListener is while dragging an ImageView, the ImageView jumps around pretty crazily. The getX() and getY() values jump around.
I feel like I'm doing this correctly. I don't want to have to write a custom view for this because I've already implemented a scaleGestureDetector and written a custom rotateGestureDetector that work. Everything works fine but I need to fix the issue I get when using getRawX() and getRawY().
Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong here?
Here's my onTouchListener:
final View.OnTouchListener onTouchListener = new View.OnTouchListener()
{
@Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event)
{
relativeLayoutParams = (RelativeLayout.LayoutParams) v.getLayoutParams();
final int action = event.getAction();
switch (action & MotionEvent.ACTION_MASK)
{
case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
{
final float x = event.getX();
final float y = event.getY();
// Where the user started the drag
lastX = x;
lastY = y;
activePointerId = event.getPointerId(0);
break;
}
case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
{
// Where the user's finger is during the drag
final int pointerIndex = event.findPointerIndex(activePointerId);
final float x = event.getX(pointerIndex);
final float y = event.getY(pointerIndex);
// Calculate change in x and change in y
final float dx = x - lastX;
final float dy = y - lastY;
// Update the margins to move the view
relativeLayoutParams.leftMargin += dx;
relativeLayoutParams.topMargin += dy;
v.setLayoutParams(relativeLayoutParams);
// Save where the user's finger was for the next ACTION_MOVE
lastX = x;
lastY = y;
v.invalidate();
break;
}
case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
{
activePointerId = INVALID_POINTER_ID;
break;
}
case MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL:
{
activePointerId = INVALID_POINTER_ID;
break;
}
case MotionEvent.ACTION_POINTER_UP:
{
// Extract the index of the pointer that left the touch sensor
final int pointerIndex = (action & MotionEvent.ACTION_POINTER_INDEX_MASK) >> MotionEvent.ACTION_POINTER_INDEX_SHIFT;
final int pointerId = event.getPointerId(pointerIndex);
if(pointerId == activePointerId)
{
// This was our active pointer going up. Choose a new
// active pointer and adjust accordingly
final int newPointerIndex = pointerIndex == 0 ? 1 : 0;
lastX = (int) event.getX(newPointerIndex);
lastY = (int) event.getY(newPointerIndex);
activePointerId = event.getPointerId(newPointerIndex);
}
break;
}
}
return true;
}
};
image1.setOnTouchListener(onTouchListener);
