Re: [Interest] Any plans to bring back/provide a replacement for GestureArea

MouseArea provides a pressAndHold.

I turned a MouseArea into a simple gesture area with little effort.

While each of those components provides some of the functionality that I need, they are not as well suited as GestureArea. This is due to the fact that I want to support multiple gestures on a custom QQuickItem: tap, tapAndHold, pan (one finger drag), pinch (two finger drag). This is rather cumbersome with the current components, whereas it sould be trivial with GestureArea. In addition to that, while I don't currently make use if it, GestureArea provides the ability to use custom gesture recognizers, which I believe none of the 3 current components support.

 

Have you looked at the photosurface example?  It doesn’t do the tap-and-hold part, but that wouldn’t be too hard to add.  Single-finger pan in that example depends on touching the background rather than any of the photo objects.

 

 

I think MouseArea, PinchArea and MultiPointTouchArea are very useful, but they are not really a good replacement for GestureArea.

Hi Peter,

 

I think the functionality of the type was split among MouseArea, PinchArea and MultiPointTouchArea. Take a look at them and see if they fit your use case.

 

Bests,

Hello,
 

I could really use a QML element that can detect arbitrary gestures. It seems that in Qt4, GestureArea used to do just that:

http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/qml-gesturearea.html
 

However, it appears that in Qt5, it has been removed. What was the rationale for that? Are there any chances of it making a return?
 

Best regards,

kloffy
