Touch Manager

EMDK For Xamarin - 1.0

Overview

The TouchMgr sets the Touch Mode on a device to control the sensitivity of the touch panel and thus to prepare the device for different usage scenarios.

Most Android devices have touch panels that allow interaction with the device and its applications. Some Zebra Android devices have the ability to adjust the sensitivity of the touch panel to suit different usage scenarios. For example, when a device might sometimes be controlled with an ungloved finger and at other times with a stylus, the touch panel might need to be configured differently than for accepting finger input that alternates between gloved and ungloved.

Main Functionality

  • Configure the touch panel sensitivity to support
    • Scenarios where a finger or a stylus can be used
    • Scenarios where a gloved or ungloved finger will be used

Touch Action

This parm allows you to specify which Touch Mode should be used and hence which touch panel sensitivity should be configured to support usage scenarios that require that Touch Mode.

Parm Name: TouchAction

Option Name Description Requires
0 Do not change This value (or the absence of this parm from the XML) will cause no changes to be made to the Touch Mode and hence will not alter the sensitivity of the touch panel.

MX: 4.2+

1 Stylus and Finger This value will cause the Touch Mode to be set to support usage scenarios where the device user may interact with the touch panel using an ungloved finger and/or a stylus and hence will set the sensitivity of the touch panel appropriately to support such scenarios.

MX: 4.2+

2 Glove and Finger This value will cause the Touch Mode to be set to support usage scenarios where the device user may interact with the touch panel using an ungloved or gloved finger and hence will set the sensitivity of the touch panel appropriately to support such scenarios.
