Detailed Description

QTapReading Units

The tap sensor registers tap events along the 3 axes that originate from the phone. The axes are arranged as follows.

By default it returns only double tap events. The QTapSensor::returnDoubleTapEvents property must be set to false to return individual tap events.

Member Type Documentation

enum QTapReading::TapDirection

The tap direction is indicated using flags. Applications should check for the presence of a particular flag as multiple flags may be set at once.

The X, Y and Z flags allow an app to check for taps along an axis without caring about the direction.

 if (reading->tapDirection()&QTapReading::X) {
     ...
 }

The *_Pos and *_Neg flags allow checking for taps in a specific direction. Note that some devices cannot determine the direction of a tap and will set both the _Pos and _Neg flag for the detected axis. Previous versions of the API did not allow this. Applications that check for the _Pos and _Neg flags as values should be updated so they can work with all devices.

For example, if you have code like

 if (reading->tapDirection() == QTapReading::X_Pos) {
     ...
 }

you can rewrite it as

 if (reading->tapDirection()&QTapReading::X_Pos) {
     ...
 }
ConstantValueDescription
QTapReading::Undefined0This value means that the direction is unknown.
QTapReading::X0x0001This flag is set if the tap was along the X axis.
QTapReading::Y0x0002This flag is set if the tap was along the Y axis.
QTapReading::Z0x0004This flag is set if the tap was along the Z axis.
QTapReading::X_Pos0x0011This flag is set if the tap was towards the positive X direction.
QTapReading::Y_Pos0x0022This flag is set if the tap was towards the positive Y direction.
QTapReading::Z_Pos0x0044This flag is set if the tap was towards the positive Z direction.
QTapReading::X_Neg0x0101This flag is set if the tap was towards the negative X direction.
QTapReading::Y_Neg0x0202This flag is set if the tap was towards the negative Y direction.
QTapReading::Z_Neg0x0404This flag is set if the tap was towards the negative Z direction.
QTapReading::X_Both0x0111Equivalent to X_Pos|X_Neg. Returned by devices that cannot detect the direction of a tap.
QTapReading::Y_Both0x0222Equivalent to Y_Pos|Y_Neg. Returned by devices that cannot detect the direction of a tap.
QTapReading::Z_Both0x0444Equivalent to Z_Pos|Z_Neg. Returned by devices that cannot detect the direction of a tap.
