onDrag/onDrop in Webclient on Tablet

[kwpsd]

Version: 6.1.6 - build 1439

Does anyone know if drag-and-drop is supported in a webclient (browser) running on a tablet (e.g. Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 running Android)? That is, do the tablet finger gestures support drag-and-drop from one object to another?

The reason for asking is that I can, uisng a mouse, drag-and-drop from one object to another in a web client on my computer but cannot drag-and-drop, using my fingers, on the tablet running the same webclient.

No touch events are supported by Servoy Webclient. It's straightforward to add your own with a library like Hammer.js if you're comfortable with the web utils plugin.

Hi, David.

No touch events are supported by Servoy Webclient.

Well, some events must be supported...I can tap on buttons, pull down lists (combo boxes), operate scroll bars, and scroll text areas with my finger using webclient on the tablet. I can do these things on a Windows 8 computer with touch-screen using IE and webclient, too. But I cannot drag-and-drop on either one.

Thanks for the tip on Hammer.js...I will have a look at it.

Clarification then No touch events beyond the various default mobile browser touch-to-mouse mappings for common items are supported. Furthermore, drag-and-drop in Servoy webclient is specifically attached to mouse events.

My conclusion as well...I just needed someone to confirm it. Thank you!
