I’ve seen some samples using:
blah:addEventListener (“touch”, doBlah)
and others use:
blah:addEventListener (“tap”, doBlah)
Do these both do the same thing? I can’t find any documentation on “tap” is it deprecated?
Also, is there any equivalent in Corona for a double-click or double-tap event?
Thank you!!! [import]uid: 10747 topic_id: 3581 reply_id: 303581[/import]
“touch” includes detection of “tap”.
in layman’s terms
touch detects a myriad of touch events.
When your finger presses a button, when your finger moves along a button, or when your finger lifts from touching a button.
tap only detects the lift or release. [import]uid: 11024 topic_id: 3581 reply_id: 10808[/import]
Ah great thank you!
Do you know if there are any other event types other than “tap” and “touch” such as double tap? [import]uid: 10747 topic_id: 3581 reply_id: 10818[/import]
Well this is what I did as a double-tap solution, seems to work ok. Please let me know if something already exists and I’ll use it:
[lua]local hitTime = system.getTimer ()
– This can be changed to whatever interval you want, 250 seems to work ok
local tapDelay = 250
local function myTouchListenerCallback (event)
if “began” == phase then
local currTime = system.getTimer ()
if currTime < hitTime + tapDelay then
–Do your double-tap stuff here
end
hitTime = currTime
end
end
