[android-beginners] Re: Screen pointer
There is a video explaining how to build a DIY stylus that works with capacitive touch screens over at http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1322617/make_your_own_stylus_for_your_ipod_touch_iphone/ (should work for the G1 equally well as for the i-products) -- http://www.deepdroid.com On May 28, 12:58 pm, Rafa Perfeito rafa.perfe...@gmail.com wrote: Hey, Nobody likes the finger usability of Android more than me... But what if want some precisioning pointing? Some drawing in small areas, for example? Do you guys know any pointer or pen that works with android? Does it matter what we use to touch the screen? Give me your thoughts on this, please.

Hamy, Thanks, that was the type answer i was looking for... Pretty ingenious, too.

Draw a crosshair at like 0,30, and actually use that as the drawing location. The point is that your finger is no longer in the way of where you are drawing, so it becomes slightly easier to draw in tight corners.
