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) {
     ...
 }

Constant	Value	Description
`QTapReading::Undefined`	`0`	This value means that the direction is unknown.
`QTapReading::X`	`0x0001`	This flag is set if the tap was along the X axis.
`QTapReading::Y`	`0x0002`	This flag is set if the tap was along the Y axis.
`QTapReading::Z`	`0x0004`	This flag is set if the tap was along the Z axis.
`QTapReading::X_Pos`	`0x0011`	This flag is set if the tap was towards the positive X direction.
`QTapReading::Y_Pos`	`0x0022`	This flag is set if the tap was towards the positive Y direction.
`QTapReading::Z_Pos`	`0x0044`	This flag is set if the tap was towards the positive Z direction.
`QTapReading::X_Neg`	`0x0101`	This flag is set if the tap was towards the negative X direction.
`QTapReading::Y_Neg`	`0x0202`	This flag is set if the tap was towards the negative Y direction.
`QTapReading::Z_Neg`	`0x0404`	This flag is set if the tap was towards the negative Z direction.
`QTapReading::X_Both`	`0x0111`	Equivalent to `X_Pos\|X_Neg`. Returned by devices that cannot detect the direction of a tap.
`QTapReading::Y_Both`	`0x0222`	Equivalent to `Y_Pos\|Y_Neg`. Returned by devices that cannot detect the direction of a tap.
`QTapReading::Z_Both`	`0x0444`	Equivalent to `Z_Pos\|Z_Neg`. Returned by devices that cannot detect the direction of a tap.
