iOS sticky touch events

General JUCE discussion
1

There is something not correct with the mouseUp events for multiple touches on iOS. Rather, some are getting dropped / ignored.

Specifically, I notice that if I put several fingers on the ipad, then lift them (at the same time),I don’t receive all the mouseUp calls. Some of the touches remain down.

I can reproduce this very easily in the JuceDemo code just by painting the mouse positions on the ipad:


.. in paint()

for (short i=0; i < Desktop::getInstance().getNumMouseSources(); i++)
{
            Point<int> p = Desktop::getInstance().getMouseSource(i)->getScreenPosition();
            
            g.setColour(Colours::black);
            g.drawEllipse(p.x - 10, p.y - 10, 20, 20, 3);
            
 }

It seems fine with just 2 fingers down, but more than that cause issues. I think if there are multiple mouseUps at about the same time, it is only seeing one of them.

Here’s…a really stupid question, did you disable the “multi touch swipe” gestures in the General Settings (so that apps get all the touch events?)

Hahaaa!!

Hadn’t even noticed that. Cool - your’e the man Vinn.
Is there a way to disable that programmatically, I wonder?

LOL, go me.

I doubt it can be done programatically, most apps (like “Crossfingers”) just remind the user somehow, if they need the gestures.
