search for a Three-state button

whidbey

the plugin button is simple,and is there a 3-state button (normal,move,pushdown)? thank you

ar2rsawseen

@whidbey I don't know if there is, but there should not be difficult to implement one.
I just don't understand what you mean by move state

whidbey

@ar2rsawseen, what i mean move is "hover" on the button then there something effect.

In my opinion, we must refactor Button class here:
https://github.com/gideros/Button

Button class should be divided into two parts: ClickListener and Button. (Button inherited from ClickListener)
In Button would stay only one method for presentation - updateVisualState.
This would help to easily change the button, adding new heirs of ClickListener, e.g: TextButton, ToggleButton and so on...

@whidbey I'm sorry, but how do you imagine hovering on mobile phone through touch input? Is there any gesture like that?

@asakharov yes, but also click listeners may be different, one can be mouse listener for single input, other touch listener for multi touch input (as in pushing multiple buttons at once )

asakharov

@ar2rsawseen Yes, then we need to inherit from another button listener. But we divieded responsibilities and now we are ready to increase functionality :-)

@ar2rsawseen,but when I click the button,and the mouse or my hand still not release the button,I need change the button to be flat or some other effect.
and when I release my hand,it will fire the click event. could you catch me?thank you

ar2rsawseen

@whidbey yes that is the second state - the pushed state, what I don't understand is what is the third state

whidbey

I understand..thank you ar2rsawseen.

@ar2rsawseen this would be true a while ago, with the Samsung they have the hover with the pen, it provides a hover event. In the case of a Gideros App, it will not register as the SDK does not cater for that. However this was a bit of a concern that there is a Hover on mobile devices.

whidbey

@OZApps ,do you have a plan for the hover event?,thank you.

ar2rsawseen

Once Desktop platform will be fully supported, we will have no choice, but to support hover events

whidbey

waiting for that:-)

it's called the AirView or the sPenSDK

Not sure if it will become common with all devices or not. However with Surface (Windows 8.x) it is present (The stylus can be positioned to hover over like with the Samsung Galaxy Pen)

ar2rsawseen

So basically hovering and touching depends on the amount of pressure?
