Is there way to change pages using finger moves?

ar2rsawseen · March 2012

Try this one:

it's kind different thing. I'm just trying to understand how to add event on a gesture. Something like set x=0 when mousedown, then track mousemove. And if x=-50 then self.pageNo = self.pageNo - 1 and if x=50 then self.pageNo = self.pageNo + 1

Ok, then try this one:
http://www.giderosmobile.com/forum/discussion/693/can-gideros-recognize-gestures

Set allowRotation and inverseShape to false and add two gestures with (0,0)(0,50) points and vice versa (50,0)(0,0) . And add callback to each gesture to go to next or previous scene

@banakil - ar2rsawseen's code is great for tracking gestures, but if you are just trying to understand event tracking, here's something to read:

http://www.giderosmobile.com/documentation/events.html

and here's a simple bit of code. (I don't think this would make it into any final code because it is so simple, but hopefully it illustrates a concept)

local isMouseDown = false
local originalMousePosition = {x=0, y=0} --I only use x, not y 
 
function onMouseDown(event)
	--only do page turn at edges of page
	--assuming a page width of 320 here
	if event.x < 100 or event.x > 220 then
		isMouseDown = true
		originalMousePosition.x = event.x
	end
end
 
function onMouseMove(event)
	--only track back swipe on the left of the screen
	--and a forward swipe on the right of the screen
	if isMouseDown then
		if originalMousePosition.x < 100 and event.x < (originalMousePosition.x - 50) then
			print("Should go back a page here")
			isMouseDown = false
		end
		if originalMousePosition.x > 220 and event.x > (originalMousePosition.x + 50) then 
			print("Should go forward a page here")
			isMouseDown = false
		end
	end
 
	--note if you want not to record a gesture that goes in the wrong direction in the middle
	--then you need to track currentMousePosition.x and if it goes the 
	--wrong way, then set isMouseDown = false to stop the onMouseMove page turn
end
 
function onMouseUp(event)
	isMouseDown = false
end
 
stage:addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_DOWN, onMouseDown)
stage:addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouseMove)
stage:addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_UP, onMouseUp)

thanks.
If there are somebody as much stupid as i am, i can bring my solution(because i just can't understand how "callback" works).
You can inverse how button works. So make your buttons tall(to fit screen) and make them totally transparent. Then change what buttons do. Originally onMouseUp turn pages if self.focus=true, but you should make call Event.new("click") on self.focus=false.

I know that it's not brilliant, but it is very easy and may be it can help somebody. And it works.

Thanks Caroline, I did't see your message, when start to write.

marbolec · July 2012

how to add physics like elastic joint to the page?

marbolec · July 2012

sorry wrong post

Cyberience · March 2013

you could remove the fixed width on assumed size by using event.x> getWidth()*.9
Then any size will be ok.

Hello,
When I try to download the template, my computer only sees an icon. It does not find the file. Any suggestions?
Thank you.

ar2rsawseen · May 2013

Here @Johngme
I've uploaded it here: http://appcodingeasy.com/Gideros_Ebook_Template.zip
you can try downloading from it

Johngme · May 2013

Thank You!

one question about this template. I'm using it and I can't for the life of me understand how to remove the buttons from page0.lua ?

i've played around and removed the code but not sure where in the scene controller where to make the change.

talis · May 2013

@mysps the buttons added to the screen on scenecontroller.lua . If you want to remove them you need to change the logic of the code a little bit. You need to handle onenterscene of page0 and remove the required button there. And onexit of the scene you need to add it again to the stage.

If i will go home early today i will try to write it for you how it will be coded

mysps · May 2013

@talis. ok great i'll start looking there in the scenecontroller! thanks

mysps · May 2013

I can't figure it out. i'll use the ndoss scenemanager. it seems to be easier for me to remove the controls.
