This was a problem with not dealing well with how the driver was
reporting data in the old touch protocol.
Also fixed issue with not correctly rotating non-primary touches.
The major things going on here:
- The MotionEvent API is now extended to included "pointer ID" information, for
applications to keep track of individual fingers as they move up and down.
PointerLocation has been updated to take advantage of this.
- The input system now has logic to generate MotionEvents with the new ID
information, synthesizing an identifier as new points are down and trying to
keep pointer ids consistent across events by looking at the distance between
the last and next set of pointers.
- We now support the new multitouch driver protocol, and will use that instead
of the old one if it is available. We do NOT use any finger id information
coming from the driver, but always synthesize pointer ids in user space.
(This is simply because we don't yet have a driver reporting this information
from which to base an implementation on.)
- Increase maximum number of fingers to 10. This code has only been used
with a driver that reports up to 2, so no idea how more will actually work.
- Oh and the input system can now detect and report physical DPAD devices.
The platform now knows how to deal with a platform key, which at this
point is "just like end call, but don't end a call."
Also improve the handling of virtual keys, to allow for canceling when
sliding off into the display and providing haptic feedback.
Finally fixes a bug where the raw x and y in motion event were not
always set which caused the status bar to not work.
The MotionEvent API should be fairly solid, but there is still a lot of
work to do in the input device code. In particular, right now we are
really stupid about watching how fingers change -- we just take whatever
the driver reports as down and dump that directly into the motion event.
The big remaning work is to assign pointer IDs so that applications have
help in determine which fingers go up and down, and adding support for
the official multi-touch driver protocol.
The kernel can now publish a property describing the layout of virtual
hardware buttons on the touchscreen. These outside of the display
area (outside of the absolute x and y controller range the driver
reports), and when the user presses on them a key event will be
generated rather than a touch event.
This also includes a number of tweaks to the absolute controller
processing to make things work better on the new screens. For
example, we now reject down events outside of the display area.
Still left to be done is the ability to cancel a key down event,
so the user can slide up from the virtual keys to the touch screen
without causing a virtual key to execute.
