Qt gestures on PC

**pingwinek** · 28th November 2009, 00:37

I tried to run Qt Gestures example (Linux and Win7). It started, I choose folder with images, but any gestures doesn't work. No one of events is QGestureEvent. What I need to do to make gestures work?

did you use QWidget::grabGesture() to activate them?

Yes, I used this example: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.6-snapshot...egestures.html

Somebody says we will not get QGesture Events on the devices without touch screen.
My ARM device (running embedded Linux) has touch screen.
While the sample program is running, I can get mouse pressed/released events, but no QGesture event from the touch screen.
What is required to enable generating/capturing QGesture events from touch screen?
Thank,
Joseph

Gestures do not work for me either. I am trying to run that gesture example:

/qt/examples/gestures/imagegestures/imagegestures

that was part of Qt Creator 1.3.1 (Based on Qt 4.6.1 (32 bit))

I am using xserver on debian.

It seems that we are not allone, others have the same problem:
Other post on this forum with the same problem
(I also found those issues on other forums)

Is it just me, or do you think too that Qt products and services badly dropped in quality since Nokia is in the business? The Trolltech page has lots of nice posts about new widgets, upcoming Qt mobility stuff and then, instead of doku and compiling examples you get a git repo link.
Sorry guys, but continue like this and the product is dead in 6 months. Android is not sleeping and burning energy with an inefficient management and business/money/water head meetings. They let the people work.

Refresh the thread.
I have the same problem, can't record the QGerstureEvent. Do anyone of You solve the problem and can help me?

Gestures in Qt only work in certain operating systems such as Windows 7.

So is there any documentation out there on what OS and hardware supports Gestures? There are more and more touch pads on laptops that support multi touch and then there are things like the Apple Magic Touchpad. So is there a list of what hardware works with which OS's?
