Detailed Description

The base class for the input manipulator.

Use the input manipulators to recognize gestures, such as click or pinch, from incoming touch events. Kanzi does not differentiate touch events from mouse events.

To use an input manipulator on a node, add it to that node with the Node::addInputManipulator() method. You can add more than one input manipulator to a node, but you can use only one to recognize a gesture. When you want to handle more than one gesture on a node, link the input manipulators to each other in order of importance of the gestures that they recognize.

You can link input manipulators sequentially. For example, if you want a node to recognize the pan, double-click, and click gestures in this order, link the ClickManipulator to the MultiClickManipulator, and the MultiClickManipulator to the PanManipulator.

The linking of the manipulators is directional. The linked manipulator is called the depend manipulator and the manipulator the dependant is linked to is called the fail manipulator. You can link the two manipulators by calling requireToFail() on the fail manipulator, passing the dependant manipulator as argument.

To receive both click and multi-click messages on a node, you need to configure the click manipulator to wait for the failure of the multi-click manipulator:

        ClickManipulatorSharedPtr clickManipulator = ClickManipulator::create(domain);
        node->addInputManipulator(clickManipulator);
        MultiClickManipulatorSharedPtr doubleClickManipulator =
            MultiClickManipulator::create(domain);
        node->addInputManipulator(doubleClickManipulator);
        doubleClickManipulator->setExpectedClicks(2);
        MultiClickManipulatorSharedPtr tripleClickManipulator =
            MultiClickManipulator::create(domain);
        tripleClickManipulator->setExpectedClicks(3);
        node->addInputManipulator(tripleClickManipulator);
        // Configure the click manipulator to wait for the failure of the double-click manipulator.
        clickManipulator->requireToFail(doubleClickManipulator);
        // Configure the double-click manipulator to wait for the failure of the triple-click manipulator
        doubleClickManipulator->requireToFail(tripleClickManipulator);

Gesture recognition

Kanzi dispatches the touch points from the events to manipulators attached to nodes in phases:

Kanzi tunnels the touch points to nodes starting from the root node and ending at the hit test node. In this phase only the input manipulators that have the RoutingTunneling routing mode set receive the touch points for recognition.
Kanzi continues to bubble the touch points from the hit test node to the root node, updating the nodes with input manipulators that have the RoutingBubbling routing mode set.
Kanzi updates the input manipulators that are outside of the hierarchy of the hit test node.

The touch gesture recognition happens in the notifyTouchInside() or notifyTouchOutside() methods of an input manipulator. Every input manipulator attached to a hit test node receives all the touch points occurred in the application. In each input manipulator you must set the correct state to inform Kanzi that the input manipulator recognized a gesture. You do this by calling the setState() method with the apropriate State value.

When an input manipulator recognizes a touch event as a starting action of a gesture:

The manipulator enters the StatePossible state. Usually every input manipulator takes the first touch point as a possible starting point of the gesture it recognizes. In this phase, every input manipulator in the StatePossible state receives the touch event.
When a manipulator recognizes the incoming touch event as a comprehensive gesture, depending on the type of the gesture, this manipulator sets its state to either StateBegin, StateEnd, or StateFail state.
Manipulators which recognize gestures where the touch point location is not changing, such as click or multi-click, and gestures where the touch location is updated, set the state to StateEnd.
If the gesture recognition fails, manipulators set the StateFail state value. It is important that you mark the gesture recognition failure in the failing manipulator. This enables Kanzi to continue dispatching the touch event to the dependant manipulators. Kanzi calls onFail() method on the dependant manipulator linked, continuing the gesture recognition in that manipulator.

During and on gesture recognition, input manipulators can dispatch messages to the attached node, to inform the subscribed message handlers about the progress of the gesture.

When you reset a manipulator, you set its state to the initial state (StateReady).

void kanzi::InputManipulator::cancel ( )

Notify manipulator of touch canceling.

State kanzi::InputManipulator::getState ( ) const

Get the state of the input manipulator.

Returns: The current state of the input manipulator.

void kanzi::InputManipulator::setState ( State state )

Set the state of the input manipulator.

Parameters

state The new state of the input manipulator.

Node* kanzi::InputManipulator::getAttachedNode ( ) const

Gets the node to which the input manipulator is attached.

Returns: The pointer to the node to which the input manipulator is attached. If the input manipulator is not attached to any node, nullptr.

void kanzi::InputManipulator::requireToFail ( InputManipulatorWeakPtr manipulatorToFail )
