Multi touch components?

[JustinH]

I followed below steps to make a Multi touch app. I finally got a "new apk", but it still not support Multi touch. Any advise? Thank you.

I hope Multi touch will be officially available by APP Inventor. Multi touch is a very important and basic feature for touch screen devices.

1. An App Inventor 2 project with at least 2 buttons, canvas, sliders etc

2. AppToMarket_v4.1

Steps:

1. After you have created your app, build it and save it to your computer in .apk format

2. Download AppToMarket_v32, extract the files from the archive and place it somewhere you will find it easily

3. In the AppToMarket folder, open runMeWindows_v32.bat, This will open a command window that will then open the program.

4. Once you have the app open, enter whatever you want in the Certificate Details tab, then click "Generate"

5. Go to the next tab (De/Re compile and wrap-up), click "Browse" and point the path to your apk, then click "Decompile"

6. In the "Features" menu below, change the "Min SDK Ver" to 5 and "Target SDK Ver" to 11. If you don't want your app to be resized, change the slider to "Normal"

7. Click on the "Update Manifest" and "Create New .apk"

8. DONE! Your new apk is in the same folder as your old one, but with the name changed (apkname_new.apk)

I tried some of those extensions. But I cannot figure out how to apply those to sliders, joysticks.

No build-in vertical slider is one more thing that App inventor needs to improve.

Here an Extension with Vertical Slider:

Before Extension is with Buttons Multitouch not Sliders.

Very good slider. If you can make it Multitouch, then will be perfect.

Also, please consider add joystick to that extension.
