Disable multitouch gestures

Currently working on a prototype for an iPad game that requires multitouch however the 4 and 5 finger gestures are causing problems, is there anyway to disable them? [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 17276 reply_id: 317276[/import]

Yes, look in the Settings on the iPad under General. There is a setting for “Multitasking Gestures”. You can set it to off.

I ran into the same problem while testing a multitouch app on the iPad. [import]uid: 67839 topic_id: 17276 reply_id: 65347[/import]

Assuming you were asking because you wanted to know if there was a way to turn them off via Corona, the answer to that would be no.

Sorry!

Darn, yea was hoping it could be done programatically. Ah Well :frowning: [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 17276 reply_id: 65430[/import]

is it not possible via corona or is it not possible in general from an application? [import]uid: 24497 topic_id: 17276 reply_id: 88668[/import]

I would love to know the answer to the above question as well, since I’m working on an app that will make use of 4+ finger multi-touch features. [import]uid: 52260 topic_id: 17276 reply_id: 105367[/import]

I believe this may work now, not confirmed but it should be OK - if anyone uses it please let me know; http://developer.anscamobile.com/reference/index/systemdeactivate

In my app, I would like the user to be able to use 4 fingers at the same time, without the OS interpreting it as an OS multi-touch gesture command (to change apps or similar). Is there any way of setting it so my app catchs all multi-finger touches, and they don’t get sent on to the OS? [import]uid: 52260 topic_id: 17276 reply_id: 105419[/import]

Hey Doog,

No, there is no way of doing that - same with the swipe down to make “notifications” appear. Some Apple stuff can be that way, am afraid. [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 17276 reply_id: 105560[/import]

Mmmm, I feared as much. Kind of crazy that apple creates a brand new multi-touch interface, and then quickly takes all over many-finger commands for itself, removing them from app possibilities.

Ah well, 3 finger touches will have to do for most people I guess. [import]uid: 52260 topic_id: 17276 reply_id: 105630[/import]
