Gestures in simulator

Hi everyone, 

 

I wrote an app that uses gestures but it does not respond to "mouse" gestures in simulator, is it normal or did I make a coding mistake?

 

Thanks

Re: Gestures in simulator

Hey,

 

if you are using Multitouch gestures and listening for them specifically then you will not be able to test for it on the simulator. The current simulator is not equipped to hand it. Currently, only mouse events are supported in the simulator but on the actual device you can use both.

 

so you are going ot have to wait for an updated sim or the actual device to do the testing.

Hmm, 

 

I use finger gestures but not multitouch. 

 

Like swiping left, right.

 

Does it work? Sorry I didnt understand.

Re: Gestures in simulator

ahh no need to be sorry -- i wasn't too clear. Any sort of gestures that are not mouse event listeners will not work. That includes Multitouch and the gesture package.

Re: Gestures in simulator

just to add on to my previous posts -- you can for now use mouse events in place of the gestures until the new simulator (which hopefully supports it) comes out. It won't cover all the gestures but at least it will allow your app to function. good luck!
