right-click replacement for mobile?

[darkBuddha]

Hi, great tool -- thanks for sharing!

Unfortunately, on multi-touch devices you don't have a way to right-click. Maybe it would make sense to add some kind of substitute?

See https://stackoverflow.com/a/30895557 and https://api.jquerymobile.com/taphold/

I ended up using this: http://hammerjs.github.io/recognizer-press/

small library (20 kB, 7 kB gzipped), works perfect, easy to integrate.

disabled tooltips and contextMenu, and used it combination with this: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/vibrate

good touch experience, intuitive and haptic feedback

I am not sure if this tool will support Mobile at this time. In addition to the right-click event, the complication include the dragging and hovering special events substitution for mobile devices as well. Do you have a public accessible live demo that uses this library in combination with other touch libraries that solve your use case? I would love to see it in action. Thanks!

I will upload a demo on the weekend.

here it is

vibration works only after some user interaction. so move the map a bit, long press, measure, and long press again to get rid of it.

I tried on iPhone6 and long press doesn’t bring up the measure tool. Any tips?

I tested it only on Chrome (Android and Desktop) so far, hammer.js say iOS should work: https://hammerjs.github.io/browser-support/

But i just tested it on an iPad and it it's indeed not working. If i get to know why that is i will let you know.

You can use the API and create some buttons with a simple logic;

subscribing to measuring events and create a var that saves the status:

measureTool.addListener('measure_start', ()=> {
 this.isMeasuring = true;
});
measureTool.addListener('measure_end', ()=> {
 this.isMeasuring = false;
});

Then you can track the status and display accordingly the buttons
Start - measureTool.start();
end -measureTool.end();

Hey man, any chance you re-upload this?
Thanks a lot!

This library doesn't officially support touch screens.

[zhenyanghua]

v1.0.0 now support browser touch events, you will be able to use API start the measure tool with your own implementation of the context menu.
