Anyone else with a Droid have a chance to try the PointerLocation code yet?
I have a buddy that just got a Nexus 1 and I will try the code on that phone tomorrow and post the results here. I hope this is not a hardware problem with the Droid, as gor now, I have had to redesign my entire input method due to the game-breaking behavior. -Colin On Jan 8, 6:30 pm, Mirmathrax <mirmath...@gmail.com> wrote: > OK, there is definitely a bug in here somewhere. > > I took the code for PointerLocation and run it on my droid with NO > modifications whatsoever. > > When I perform the following pattern: > > 1) start drawing with finger 1 > 2) start drawing with finger 2 > 3) lift finger 1 > 4) start drawing with finger 1 again in a different location > > There is an error! > > It is clear to see, when you replace finger 1 back down and start > drawing, it gets an incorrect result and connects finger 1 points with > the last point drawn from finger 2.
