Touch Event Missed

Question

Q. I am trying to capture touch events in code, they appear to work but do not catch the first touch of the screen?

Below is the log printout, it knows about the touch but its not allowing me to capture it? any help would be much appreciated.

I have included the code for the ontouch event, onCreate and the setViewFeatures:

At the top of the activity I have

    public class MediaActivity extends Activity implements OnCompletionListener, OnErrorListener,   OnInfoListener,
    OnPreparedListener, OnSeekCompleteListener, OnTouchListener, OnVideoSizeChangedListener,
    SurfaceHolder.Callback, MediaController.MediaPlayerControl

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setViewFeatures();

    setSessionData();

    setContentView(R.layout.activity_media);



    setProgressBar();

    createPADialog();

    setDRMListeners();

    setClientAndServer();

    setButtonListeners();

    // Might use this for getting ref. for grabbing view when its first
    // displayed...
    // View v =
    // getWindow().getDecorView().findViewById(android.R.id.content);

    try
    {

        setSurfaceView();

    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        errorLevel = ERRORS.CRITICAL;
        callError("UNABLE TO RUN MediaActivity", errorLevel);
    }

    }

    private void setViewFeatures()
    {


    requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

    int uiOptions = View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION 
                  | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN
                  | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION 
                  | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE
                  | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN 
                  | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY;

    View decorView = getWindow().getDecorView();
    decorView.setSystemUiVisibility(uiOptions);

    int flags = WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN 
              | WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON
              | WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TOUCHABLE_WHEN_WAKING
              | WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SHOW_WHEN_LOCKED 
              | WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN;

    getWindow().addFlags(flags);

    }

    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event)
    {

    Log.d("TAG", "In onTouch ");
    try
    {
        if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN)
        {
            if (topBar.isOpened())
            {
                callCloseBars();
            }
            else
            {
                callOpenBars();
            }
        }
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        Log.d("TAG", e.getMessage());
    }

         return true;
    }

Answer 1

This is the solution if the listener called from the beginning(OnCreate):

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity implements OnTouchListener {
    View view;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        view = (View)findViewById(R.id.view1);
        view.setOnTouchListener(this);
    }

@Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
     Log.d("TAG", "In onTouch ");
        try
        {
            if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN)
            {
                i = 1;
            }
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            Log.d("TAG", e.getMessage());
        }
    return true;
   }
}

In your code you can start the listening when the film start.
