Detect pressing position on screen
lazarus / 43-Android

Hello.

I want to detect the position of user pressings on my application
screen, and I use this code on OnClick event :

Code: [Select]  GetCursorPos(Pos);
  DebugLN('Pos X: ' + IntToStr(Pos.X) + '  Pos Y: ' +
IntToStr(Pos.Y));

It works fine on nonandroidtest.lpi, but on Android devices it always
returns (1,1) position.

Is there any other way that I can retrieve the position pressed by the
user ?

Thank you.

Please open a bug report.

Does Mouse.CursorPos.X / Y work for you?

No, I get the same value : (1, 1).

It's not entirely surprising, because there is no cursor (no mouse) on
my Android Device (Tablet), but I can't think of any alternative to
retrieve the position finger-pressed by the user.

I'm not sure if that really is a bug or the lack of an alternative
way.

Thank you.
