Feedback on tapping

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

I want the user to get some feedback when tapping, preferably by the vibrator running for some 100ms. How do I do that in Corona?

#2

You really can’t control vibrations from Corona.  You can have the device vibrate but you get the default value.  One of the best things is to play a subtle audio click when they tap things.

Thanks for your feedback, Rob. What is meant by “vibrate at default value”? Is this just a short “default” vibrate? That would do the job for me.

I have come across the object:vibrate() command (http://docs.coronalabs.com/api/type/InputDevice/vibrate.html), but it doesn’t seem to work very well. Have I missed something about the implementation?

You want:

If you’re building for Android, don’t forget to add the permissions to your build.settings.
