java.lang.Object

javafx.scene.input.TouchPoint

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public final class TouchPoint
extends Object
implements Serializable

Touch point represents a single point of a multi-touch action, typically one finger touching a screen. It is contained in TouchEvent.

The touch point has its coordinates, state (see TouchPoint.State) and ID. The ID is sequential number of this touch point unique in scope of a single multi-touch gesture.

Each touch point is by default delivered to a single node during its whole trajectory - to the node on which it was pressed. There is a grabbing API to modify this behavior. The above means that when touch point is pressed, it is automatically grabbed by the top-most node on the press coordinates. Any time during the gesture grab() and ungrab() methods can be used to alter the event delivery target. When grabbed by a different node, it will next time be targeted to it; when ungrabbed, it will be always targeted to the top-most node on the current location.

Constructor Details

TouchPoint

public TouchPoint(int id,
 TouchPoint.State state,
 double x,
 double y,
 double screenX,
 double screenY,
 EventTarget target,
 PickResult pickResult)

Creates new instance of TouchPoint.

Parameters:

id - ID of the new touch point

state - state of the new touch point

x - The x with respect to the scene.

y - The y with respect to the scene.

screenX - The x coordinate relative to screen.

screenY - The y coordinate relative to screen.

target - Node or other event target.

pickResult - pick result. Can be null, in this case a 2D pick result without any further values is constructed based on the scene coordinates and target

Since:

JavaFX 8.0

Method Details

belongsTo

public boolean belongsTo(EventTarget target)

Distinguishes between touch points targeted to the given node or some of its children from touch points targeted somewhere else. This allows for testing all touch points carried by one touch event on their relevance for a given node.

Parameters:

target - Node or other event target to be tested

Returns:

true if this touch point is targeted to the given target or some of its children

getGrabbed

public EventTarget getGrabbed()

Gets event target which has grabbed this touch point.

Returns:

The current grabbed target, null if the touch point is ungrabbed

grab

public void grab()

Grabs this touch point by current event source. Next event containing this touch point will be targeted to the same node whose event handler called this method.

grab

public void grab(EventTarget target)

Grabs this touch point by the given target. Next event containing this touch point will be targeted to it.

Parameters:

target - Target by which to grab the touch point

ungrab

public void ungrab()

Ungrabs this touch point from its target. Since the next event this touch point will be delivered to the top-most node picked on its respective location until it is grabbed again or released.

getId

public final int getId()

Gets identifier of this touch point. The number is sequential and unique in scope of one multi touch gesture. The first pressed touch point has id 1, each subsequently pressed touch points gets the next ordinal number until all touch points are released and the counter is reset.

Returns:

the identifier of this touch point.

getState

public final TouchPoint.State getState()

Gets state of this touch point

Returns:

state of this touch point

getX

public final double getX()

Gets the horizontal position of the touch point relative to the origin of the TouchEvent's source.

Returns:

the horizontal position of the touch point relative to the origin of the TouchEvent's source.

getY

public final double getY()

Gets the vertical position of the touch point relative to the origin of the TouchEvent's source.

Returns:

the vertical position of the touch point relative to the origin of the TouchEvent's source.

getZ

public final double getZ()

Depth position of the event relative to the origin of the MouseEvent's source.

Returns:

depth position of the event relative to the origin of the MouseEvent's source.

Since:

JavaFX 8.0

getScreenX

public final double getScreenX()

Gets the absolute horizontal position of the touch point.

Returns:

the absolute horizontal position of the touch point

getScreenY

public final double getScreenY()

Gets the absolute vertical position of the touch point.

Returns:

the absolute vertical position of the touch point

getSceneX

public final double getSceneX()

Gets the horizontal position of the touch point relative to the origin of the Scene that contains the TouchEvent's source. If the node is not in a Scene, then the value is relative to the boundsInParent of the root-most parent of the TouchEvent's node. Note that in 3D scene, this represents the flat coordinates after applying the projection transformations.

Returns:

the horizontal position of the touch point relative to the origin of the Scene that contains the TouchEvent's source

getSceneY

public final double getSceneY()

Gets the vertical position of the touch point relative to the origin of the Scene that contains the TouchEvent's source. If the node is not in a Scene, then the value is relative to the boundsInParent of the root-most parent of the TouchEvent's node. Note that in 3D scene, this represents the flat coordinates after applying the projection transformations.

Returns:

the vertical position of the touch point relative to the origin of the Scene that contains the TouchEvent's source

getPickResult

public final PickResult getPickResult()

Returns information about the pick.

Returns:

new PickResult object that contains information about the pick

Since:

JavaFX 8.0

getTarget

public EventTarget getTarget()

Gets event target on which the touch event carrying this touch point is fired.

Returns:

Event target for this touch point

toString

public String toString()

Returns a string representation of this TouchPoint object.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

a string representation of this TouchPoint object.
