Hey guys, brand new to agk, but have been programming in dbpro for a while now.

I'm trying to do a simple check to see if i can make a click on a touchscreen work, but it simply wouldn't.

When I decided to print out the value of getpointerstate() it jumps around like crazy from about 1027310000 to 1051640000 without me touching the screen.

Any idea what might be happening?

Also, I am using agk v2




Edit: Tipping the phone makes it a negative number! I'm so confused...

It sounds like it's creating a pointer from the phone's accelerometers.


Have you tried getPointerPressed()?

I have. Clicking gives me no difference on the value either

Try assigning the value to a variable and then printing the variable.

Putting it in a variable gives me the same exact readings

Do the multitouch commands work?


do
c=GetRawTouchCount()
print(c)
sync()
loop

Alright! That works. I suppose I could just use that alternatively, but I'd still like to know why the other doesn't work properly...

When I add a 0 to the function it only recognizes holding the touchscreen, and a 1 acts like the getpointerstate() should
