How do I code a right mouse press in AppGameKit for Android and what would I do on the tablet to simulate the right mouse press.

Remember that some commands are specific to desktop platforms such as win Mac and me ego.

Can you right click on an android? I wouldn't imagine so. You will have to use multi touch or some other method of I think. Get rawmousekeypressed or state will do it for PC.

You could add a "virtual button" on the screen somewhere.

Trying to do a Minesweeper clone and need to be able to do something to show potential bombs. In windows this is done by right mouse click.

You could use a long-touch by counting up how long the touch event is active and place your bomb-flag that way. Sort of like how iOS will spawn the magnifying glass and edit tools if you hold your touch down for a bit. For desktop, I guess that would translate into clicking and holding down the left mouse button.

There is an iOS Minesweeper clone and they have an icon that you press and drag to where you put the flag.

As a long time Minesweeper player (back to 1992 anyway), this is not a very satisfactory method and really affects your time AND they let you click on the flag marked spaces and lose the game.

Trying for multitouch can be tricky in small spaces (like the more difficult levels). The long touch method might work.

Cheers,

How about a virtual button that you hold down to modify the touch press into flag placing mode?

...but yes, just let a virtual button put you into flag placing mode then once a flag has been placed go back to normal mode.

That sounds like a nice playable mode!

Uechi, that sounds good. I look forward to trying your version (I've uninstalled the other one).

We have engineered AppGameKit specifically to gently steer you away from adding commands that do not convert well to other hardware or platforms. All tablets don't have right mouse buttons, and phones for that matter. Even some variants of Mac desktops have no right mouse button We do allow you to read the right mouse button, but through the appropriately named RAW commands, which are clear indicators that you are accessing RAW data from the platform and your app will NOT perform universally across all platforms.

I drink tea, and in my spare time I write software.
