Pan and swipe gesture on N8 device

[johannes_petersson]

Hi

I've been trying to implement gestures in Qt. I've understood from reading forums that the gestures does not work on Windows or Linux desktops (which is stupid according to me since it makes testing and debugging more difficult) but we have to live with that.

But I can not get pan or swipe gestures to work on my N8 device either. I've done the following:

MyWidget::MyWidget(QWidget *parent) :
  : QWidget(parent)
{
    setAttribute(Qt::WA_AcceptTouchEvents);
    grabGesture(Qt::PanGesture);
    grabGesture(Qt::SwipeGesture);
}

MyWidget::~MyWidget()
{
}

bool MyWidget::event(QEvent *event)
{
    if (event->type() == QEvent::Gesture) {
        return gestureEvent(static_cast<QGestureEvent*>(event));
    }
    return QWidget::event(event);
}

bool MyWidget::gestureEvent(QGestureEvent *event)
{
    if (QGesture *swipe = event->gesture(Qt::SwipeGesture)) {
        swipeTriggered(static_cast<QSwipeGesture *>(swipe));
    } else if (QGesture *pan = event->gesture(Qt::PanGesture)) {
        panTriggered(static_cast<QPanGesture *>(pan));
    }
    return true;
}

void MyWidget::swipeTriggered(QSwipeGesture* gesture)
{
    // Omitted for shorter code paste.
}

void MyWidget::panTriggered(QPanGesture* gesture)
{
    // Omitted for shorter code paste.
}

And I create the above widget inside a QMainWindow. When I run this on device I never get an event type == "QEvent::Gesture" which pretty much comes down to my problem, why does not this work?

If I also do:
grabGesture(Qt::TapGesture);
Then I actually start to get events with type "QEvent::Gesture" in the (overloaded) event function. This leads me to believe that pan and swipe is not supported on the N8 but tap is? Could this be the case?

Hope someone can clarify this.

Best Regards,

Now I've actually managed to get the pan gesture to trigger by sliding two fingers across the screen simultaneously. Is that how it should be? It says nothing about that in the documentation.

But the swipe gesture is still not working, or maybe there is some special undocumented finger combination that needs to be used for that as well?

Hi the same problem here help plzz...

[miika.ahdesmaki]

I've tried this QtQuick example: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot...tures-qml.html
Only tap and tap-n-hold work. Any solution yet? Why are all touch-related things _so_ poor on the N8 (or is it S^3)?
