Subject: [X11] Question about TouchCancel event like ACTION_CANCEL in
android

 

Hello, Dears.

I send this email again. Because of HTML (not text)

 

I'm planning to add a touch cancel event(like ACTION_CANCEL in Android) in
X11 protocol.

 

So I invested XI events and I found a variable named "flags" in DeviceEvent
structure.

The "flags" variable can get values like below.

 

==========================================================

(defined in XI2.h)

/* Device event flags (common) */

/* Device event flags (key events only) */

#define XIKeyRepeat                             (1 << 16)

/* Device event flags (pointer events only) */

#define XIPointerEmulated                       (1 << 16)

/* Device event flags (touch events only) */

#define XITouchPendingEnd                       (1 << 16)

#define XITouchEmulatingPointer                 (1 << 17)

==========================================================

 

So I think how about insert "Device event flags" for a touch cancel event
like below.

#define XITouchCancel  (1 << 18)

or

#define XIPointerCancel (1 << 18)

we can distinguish Normal touch events and a touch cancel event using
XITouchCancel definition.

 

Another way is make new events: struct TouchCancelEvent( have a type
"XI_TouchCancel")

 

Each method has its advantages and disadvantages.

 

So I hope to hear opinions.

Would you give me some advice or opinion?

 

I will wait your reply.

Best regards,

Jeonghyun Kang.
