I can’t use basic tap, vertical swipe, and long-press in my phone. I’m struggling here trying to implement these features in the app. I don’t know if it is that I have to code for every textEdit to function well. Can someone explain or at least tell me where I can seek information? I searched the documents and couldn’t understand, and asked AI help but it’s not working, it is still the same.
Hi, you can use TouchScreenButton for mobile buttons, and maybe also buttons? And AI isn’t really useful when it comes to coding… but if it actually helps you then, great!
Hello. The problem is not buttons, it is the basic mobile features like scrolling with finger.
This is my touch_handler.gd:
extends Node
signal tap_detected(position: Vector2)
signal scroll_detected(delta: Vector2)
signal long_press_detected(position: Vector2)
const LONG_PRESS_THRESHOLD := 0.5
const TAP_THRESHOLD := 0.2
const SCROLL_THRESHOLD := 10.0
var touch_start_time := 0.0
var touch_start_position := Vector2.ZERO
var is_touching := false
var long_press_timer := 0.0
var has_moved := false
var current_scroll_container: ScrollContainer = null

var distance = (event.position - touch_start_position).length()
if distance > SCROLL_THRESHOLD:

current_scroll_container.scroll_vertical += event.relative.y
touch_start_position = event.position
func _start_touch(position: Vector2) -> void:
is_touching = true
touch_start_time = Time.get_ticks_msec() / 1000.0
touch_start_position = position
_find_scroll_container()
func _end_touch(position: Vector2) -> void:
if is_touching:
var touch_duration = (Time.get_ticks_msec() / 1000.0) - touch_start_time
if touch_duration <= TAP_THRESHOLD and not has_moved:
_handle_tap(position)
_reset_touch_state()

var visible_rect = current_scroll_container.get_global_rect()
var target_y = text_edit.global_position.y - visible_rect.size.y * 0.3
current_scroll_container.scroll_vertical = target_y
func _find_scroll_container() -> void:
if not current_scroll_container:
current_scroll_container = get_tree().get_first_node_in_group("main_scroll")

long_press_timer = 0.0
I add it on autoload. I made some changes and touch works now, but it looks like “enable touch from Mouse” pointing.
Hi, maybe this could help?
It explains how to add sliding in godot 4, it’s fast and simple
I saw it but it doesn’t tell how to make it work in mobile.
Maybe this then? You’ll have to figure out how to do this in godot 4 though, but there’s a comment that tells you how so yeah here:
