On a touch screen device when the user interacts by tapping the screen is it possible to determine the X/Y radii of the contact point - as one can do in HTML5/JS?
I don’t think so. How does that work in JavaScript? Can you share a link to an API?
Check out the MDN docs here. It does come with the warning that this is experimental. However, I have been using it on my Android devices for at least the past two years.
Interesting. Is this something supported on Android and iOS?
Yes - all that the browsers do is access the relevant API.
**Android: ** https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/MotionEvent
**iOS: ** https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uitouch
There are minor variations in terminology. Android refers to Axis Major/Axis Minor while iOS thinks in terms of Major Radius/Minor Radius. In both cases the touch point is an ellipse
Ok, got it. I don’t recall anyone asking for this in the past. Please open a feature request ticket here: https://github.com/defold/defold/issues/new/choose
