之前的文章层从Framework层介绍了Android Touch事件即(MotionEvent)的传递机制。本文将详细介绍MotionEvent的一些成员和方法。了解了MotionEvent对开发一些特效如拖动控件或多点缩放控件有很大的作用。同时，掌握MotionEvent类也是学好android触控技术的基础。
一、一些常量
常见的动作常量：
public static final int ACTION_DOWN = 0;单点触摸动作
public static final int ACTION_UP = 1;单点触摸离开动作
public static final int ACTION_MOVE = 2;触摸点移动动作
public static final int ACTION_CANCEL = 3;触摸动作取消
public static final int ACTION_OUTSIDE = 4;触摸动作超出边界
public static final int ACTION_POINTER_DOWN = 5;多点触摸动作
public static final int ACTION_POINTER_UP = 6;多点离开动作
以下是一些非touch事件
public static final int ACTION_HOVER_MOVE = 7;
public static final int ACTION_SCROLL = 8;
public static final int ACTION_HOVER_ENTER = 9;
public static final int ACTION_HOVER_EXIT = 10;
掩码常量
ACTION_MASK = 0X000000ff
动作掩码
ACTION_POINTER_INDEX_MASK = 0X0000ff00
触摸点索引掩码
ACTION_POINTER_INDEX_SHIFT = 8 获取触摸点索引需要移动的位数
二、相关方法
getAction()方法返回的是int类型，用到的只有低16位，其中：低八位是动作的类型，高8位是触摸点索引值的表示（单点为0，双点为1）
获得动作类型： int action = event.getAction() & ACTION_MASK 或者使用 getActionMasked()
获得触摸点索引类型： int pointerIndex = (event.getAction() & ACTION_POINTER_INDEX_MASK ) >> ACTION_POINTER_INDEX_SHIFT
或者使用 getActionIndex()
为什么要有索引信息？
有了索引信息，我们可以在onTOuchEvent事件中判断传进来的MotionEvent对象对应的是单点信息还是多点信息。
下面的代码段能使用户在屏幕上拖动一个对象。它记录了初始点的位置，计算点移动的距离，并将对象移动到新的位置。它正确的处理了这种情况：当第一个手指把控件拖到一个位置，然后按下第二个手指，且第二个手指与同一个控件上。当用户抬起第一个手指时，控件不会跑到第二个手指的位置同时第二个手指可以继续拖动控件。
// The ‘active pointer’ is the one currently moving our object.
private int mActivePointerId = INVALID_POINTER_ID;
@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
// Let the ScaleGestureDetector inspect all events.
mScaleDetector.onTouchEvent(ev);
final int action = MotionEventCompat.getActionMasked(ev);
switch (action) {
case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN: {
final int pointerIndex = MotionEventCompat.getActionIndex(ev);
final float x = MotionEventCompat.getX(ev, pointerIndex);
final float y = MotionEventCompat.getY(ev, pointerIndex);
// Remember where we started (for dragging)
mLastTouchX = x;
mLastTouchY = y;
// Save the ID of this pointer (for dragging)
mActivePointerId = MotionEventCompat.getPointerId(ev, 0);
break;
}
case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE: {
// Find the index of the active pointer and fetch its position
final int pointerIndex =
MotionEventCompat.findPointerIndex(ev, mActivePointerId);
final float x = MotionEventCompat.getX(ev, pointerIndex);
final float y = MotionEventCompat.getY(ev, pointerIndex);
// Only move if the ScaleGestureDetector isn't processing a gesture.
if (!mScaleDetector.isInProgress()) {
// Calculate the distance moved
final float dx = x - mLastTouchX;
final float dy = y - mLastTouchY;
mPosX += dx;
mPosY += dy;
invalidate();
}
// Remember this touch position for the next move event
mLastTouchX = x;
mLastTouchY = y;
break;
}
case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP: {
mActivePointerId = INVALID_POINTER_ID;
break;
}
case MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL: {
mActivePointerId = INVALID_POINTER_ID;
break;
}
case MotionEvent.ACTION_POINTER_UP: {
final int pointerIndex = MotionEventCompat.getActionIndex(ev);
final int pointerId = MotionEventCompat.getPointerId(ev, pointerIndex);
if (pointerId == mActivePointerId) {
// This was our active pointer going up. Choose a new
// active pointer and adjust accordingly.
final int newPointerIndex = pointerIndex == 0 ? 1 : 0;
mLastTouchX = MotionEventCompat.getX(ev, newPointerIndex);
mLastTouchY = MotionEventCompat.getY(ev, newPointerIndex);
mActivePointerId = MotionEventCompat.getPointerId(ev, newPointerIndex);
}
break;
}
}
return true;
}
MotionEvent还包含了移动操作中其它历史移动数据以方便处理触控的移动操作.
android sdk对于这个类的描述中就有这么一句:
For efficiency, motion events with ACTION_MOVE may batch together multiple movement samples within a single object.
