Java Development

My application developed for the Storm is not working on the Torch.  It does not receive any click/unclick events.  On the emulator, I'm seeing that the app receives tap gestures using both the left and right mouse buttons.

How do you distinguish between taps and clicks?

[sathibault]

I've noticed that at least some fields are receiving the click/unclick events.  The Screen class's touchEvent does not seem to receive them, however.

Well the only simulator with 6.0 right now is the 9800, this does not have a SurePress (which the Storms have) screen.

RIM has stated that the order should be DOWN/CLICK/UNCLICK/UP but for all I know if the click was quick it might never register the click and instead only the DOWN/UP (and maybe Tap gesture) events.

Torch still sends Click/Unclick events.

It goes like this (basically...):

Down

Click

Unclick

Up

No matter how fast I click (real device and simulator) I always get the click events.

Fyi.  Storm 2.5 still has surepress and runs 6.0.  This is a device specific thing, not OS specific.

[rcmaniac25]

@dnepr: Agreed

I'm still hoping 6.0 for Storm2, though I think it is a carrier issue, not RIM.

[sathibault]

Are you seeing those events in the touchEvent on the Screen class or some component Field?  I do not receive a click or unclick in the Screen's touchEvent method, only down, tap, up.

[dnepr]

Screen class.

@rc:  I doubt it will come to Storm 2.   6.0 really needs that extra memory.

[rcmaniac25]

Have you tried just catching click/unclick events?

@dnepr: I don't know, didn't RIM say that the 9700 would get 6.0? It has the same amount of memory and same speed CPU as the Storm2. RIM has said that the carrier decides so it could vary, until a leak comes out that can be played around with no one knows.

It is a carrier issue, Verizon pulled the 6.0 OS because they said it slowed down the phone. Maybe they will let a later build on though. Don't know about the other carriers.

I agree with rcmaniac25; TAP is a gesture, have you tried just catching the basic CLICK/UNCLICK?

I am having the same problem.

If I put a break on click or unclick touchEvents they never trigger using the simulator.  There is no way capturing a down up event will work for my application. I REALLY need an answer to this one soon.  If no one has any ideas, maybe I should try to contact RIM.
