Touch Events in regular Vaadin 7 App

Vaadin 6 / 7 / 8

Hi guys,

Is there a way to detect touch events in a regular Vaadin 7 app?

I’d like to simulate a right-click based on specific touch gestures, or a double-click.

Kind regards,
Markus

Hi,

I´ve done such a thing with Table (VScrollTable).

But to customize the touch behaviour of e.g. Table you have to make a fork because the methods which handle the touch are mostly private and cannot be overridden. It depends on the component and how touch is already implemented.

In VScrollTable there´s the method VScrollTableRow#handleTouchEvent where you can implement your behaviour.
