While this code produces the expected behavior of "1" when touching the screen:
document.getElementById('someNodeId').addEventListener('touchmove', touch, true);
function touch(evt) {
evt.preventDefault();
alert(evt.changedTouches.length);
}
the same code using a jQuery selector:
$('#someNodeId').bind('touchmove', touch);
produces the error: "TypeError: Result of expression 'evt.changedTouches'[undefined] is not an object".
(Device = iPod Touch OS 3.1.3 (7E18); jQuery 1.4.2).
How is this possible and what am I doing wrong?
Try
$(document).ready (function () {
$("#someNodeId").bind("touchmove", function (event) {
var e = event.originalEvent;
console.log(e.targetTouches[0].pageX);
});
});
I use this simple function for JQuery based project
var pointerEventToXY = function(e){
var out = {x:0, y:0};
if(e.type == 'touchstart' || e.type == 'touchmove' || e.type == 'touchend' || e.type == 'touchcancel'){
var touch = e.originalEvent.touches[0] || e.originalEvent.changedTouches[0];
out.x = touch.pageX;
out.y = touch.pageY;
} else if (e.type == 'mousedown' || e.type == 'mouseup' || e.type == 'mousemove' || e.type == 'mouseover'|| e.type=='mouseout' || e.type=='mouseenter' || e.type=='mouseleave') {
out.x = e.pageX;
out.y = e.pageY;
}
return out;
};
example:
$('a').on('mousemove touchmove', function(e){
console.log(pointerEventToXY(e)); // will return obj ..kind of {x:20,y:40}
})
hope this will be usefull for you ;)
