Will/should multi touch be supported on Ubuntu (yet)?

Hi!
We're currently testing JavaFX 2.2.0 b11 on Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04 and found out happily, that the API already offers support for multi touch events! (We didn't expect multi touch support before 3.0).
The new TouchEvent API works fine on Windows 7, but there seems to be no support for Ubuntu (yet).
Is this a bug or simply 'not implemented yet'? If so, can we expect a full support of TouchEvents on Ubuntu in 2.2.0 GA?
Thanks in advance,
Tex

Hello,
unfortunately multi-touch won't be supported on Linux in JFX 2.2. We are waiting for the stable support (X.org 7.7 & GTK 3.4) in the stable distributions (in case of Ubuntu it won't be earlier than 12.10). Implementing it right now would mean dropping support for Ubuntu 10.04 while adding nothing new for the vast majority of users.
With regards,
Pavel

Multi Touch not supported in Adobe Air for IOS?

Hi, I've just started developing my first app for my iPhone which is an iPhone 3GS. I'm using CS5 to make these apps.
I did a simple test game where there are two arrows on the screen and a fire button. The screen also has a ground and the player standing on it which can be controlled with left/right and fire. Now, if I press right, he moves right, if I press left, he moves left, if I press fire, he jumps... BUT no matter what I do I can't make dual touch work, ie: I press right AND fire, it only recognize just ONE touch point. So I did alot of researching and didn't find much. I thought maybe adding a TouchEvent.TOUCH_TAP which I found a guide on on this page: http://openexhibits.org/support/gestures/1/one-finger-tap , but couldn't make it work, so I found this: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/multitouch_gestures.html and it seems Adobe Air for iPhone only allows four different gestures, no TouchEvents. I found a code somewhere that when run it checks to see if the device it's running on supports TOUCH_TAP stuff and in CS5 I got the message that it is not supported, in Adobe Device Central I get it's supported, on the actual phone (yes, got dev license from Apple and all that and can run my apps from CS5 on my iphone) I get it IS supported, but it doesn't work when I try it for real.
So, my question is: how can I make Adobe Air using CS5 to detect 2 finger presses at the same time in iPhone apps? Like pressing right+fire at the same time, so it doesn't just detect ONE of them being pressed.
Thanks a million for any reply.

Before listening for TouchEvents like TOUCH_BEGIN, TOUCH_MOVE, TOUCH_END etc... you need to set the input mode of your device to TOUCH_POINT. By default it is set to GESTURE.
This works fine on the iPAD:
import flash.ui.Multitouch;
import flash.ui.MultitouchInputMode;
Multitouch.inputMode = MultitouchInputMode.TOUCH_POINT;
stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, touchBegin);
stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_MOVE, touchMove);
stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_END, touchEnd);
private function touchBegin(te:TouchEvent):void {
    // your code here
private function touchMove(te:TouchEvent):void {
    // your code here
private function touchEnd(te:TouchEvent):void {
    // your code here
Hope that helps.

Will the ipod touch 5g support ios 8?

I have in ipod touch 5g so i was wondering if it would support ios 8.

Since there is no such thing at this time as iOS 8, there is no way for us to know that.

Snow leopard-multi touch gestures

Apparently snow leopard includes Multi-Touch gestures in older Mac models. Does this include the white macbook? And if so what exactly does this mean?

I can confirm that there is no multi-touch gesture support on the trackpad of my Intel Core Duo MacBookPro1,1, which is much newer (only 3.5 years) than the original white MacBook, so East Asian language handwriting is also not possible. Fortunately for me, typing and conversion of Chinese and especially Japanese is very quick, so I don't really need the latter.
I'm not sure which version of the white MacBook you have (you'd have to check the Hardware Overview pane on your Get Info panel displayed by the System Profiler. If there was no multi-touch gesture support at all on your MacBook, there will definitely be no enablement by Snow Leopard. Apparently, people who had only 3-finger gestures on older model portables now have 4-fingure gestures made available by Snow Leopard.

Support for Multiple Multi-Touch Screens

hello,
I have written some code that implements the multi-touch and it has been working fine with just one multi-touch screen. However, someone using my program with 2 multi-touch screens hooked up is getting no input from the second device. I did not
see anything documentation referring to more than one multi-touch device, although the existence of hSource in the TOUCHINPUT structure would imply multiple devices are supported. After searching the forums, I found this post
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/tabletandtouch/thread/9c11871d-945c-4f7b-bdaa-a1b1452959b8/
in which someone stated that 2 multi-touch monitors should work fine, but not with simultaneous input. Since the post is almost 2 years old, I am wondering if anything has changed, and whether this might be the problem my user is having. Or is
there some way to tell if it is a driver issue? I am not using the gesture library, just retrieving data with GetTouchInputInfo. I'll appreciate if anybody can point me to documentation or mention their experiences with multiple devices.
thank you.

thank you for your quick reply. I have gotten a few more details and the problem is not the scenario you suspected. They are using 1 window spanning 2 multi-touch monitors. The problem does seem to be related to simultaneous input. If
they have a finger down on the first monitor, my program does not receive any events from the second monitor. If they are not pressing down on the first monitor, the input from the second monitor comes through.
Does Windows 7 support simultaneous input from 2 or more multi-touch monitors? Is there something I have to do so that my program will work correctly? Or are there driver specific issues, and if so, where can I get help for that?
thank you.

Which mbp models support multi-touch under 10.6?

I have been googling around looking for an answer to this question but haven't found an authoritative answer, just conjecture.
I wonder if someone from Apple could post the specific models which will support multi-touch under Snow Leopard. Mine is a MacbookPro 3,1 and I would like to know if it is possible to enable multi touch.

So this page
http://www.apple.com/macosx/refinements/enhancements-refinements.html
which says:
Multi-Touch gestures in
older Mac models.
All Mac notebooks with Multi-Touch trackpads now support three- and four-finger gestures.
Was a lie? Cause my mbp has what seems like multi-touch (two-finger scrolling)... Or does multi-touch have a more specific definition?

Will multi touch gestures work on my macbook pro (2.2 Ghz, Intel Core Duo)?, will multi touch gestures work on my macbook pro (2.2 Ghz, Intel Core Duo)?

I have a macbook pro, purchased late 2006... I can scroll with 2 fingers so I'm wondering if it will support the multi touch gestures before I purchase OS X Lion?
Thanks!

Probably Not. Im sorry.
The new macs have a different kind of trackpad that is more sensitive to touch. And Apple doesn't make new stuff for old macs because most people have a new mac and because the old hardware is not fast enough to run it. Im sorry.
Hope this helps.

I have MBP 13 late 2011:Will it be able to support a 3tb hardisk?Secondly, if i delete a song from itunes,is that song removed from the mac and is the space freed up?If not then what should I do to free up space when i delete songs from itunes?

Your MBP will support a 3T HDD provided it is formatted correctly and has sufficient power. Most large HDDs require an outboard power source.
When you delete songs from iTunes you will get a message if you want to send it to trash. If you send it to trash, space will be freed up only when you empty trash. An individual song does not consume much space so if your HDD is becoming full, more drastic action s should be considered, such as moving an entire file to an external HDD.
Ciao.

Firefox 4 does not support zoom-in/out with two fingers on Windows 7 with a multi-touch scrren, IE8 does.

I have a HP 2740p notebook with multi-touch support. With IE8, I can zoom-in/out the web page with two fingers, but I can not with Firefox 4. It seems that FF4 only support basic touch (scroll with finger)

Windows 7 multi touch support stops

I just recently Installed windows 7 x64 on my Macbook pro and the drivers off the snow leopard disk the Multi touch works perfectlyfor a while then it completely stops working until I reboot.

Ah, the old boot camp will be updated before the end of the year answer. I'm willing to be once it's updated, there will still be issues. 7 installs fine, but it's the little things that kill it. Example being for me, bluetooth devices like the Appl Wireless KB and Magic Mouse. For me, it's not about multitouch on the device, in fact all I want is the KB to work. (and apparently it's not just me either)

Does iOS 8 support multi-touch iBooks?

Does iOS 8 support multi-touch iBooks?

The apps still function, you lose a feature of synchronization that those with newer devices can use. That is part of progress.
