How to detect screen touches in a simple way

---

In your Java class, do the following:

---

package JAVARuntime;

public class YourClass extends Component {
  
  @Override
  public void start() {

  }

  @Override
  public void repeat() {
  
      if(Input.getTouch(0).isDown()) {
        
        // your code 
        
      }
      
  }

}

---

Understanding the code

• The 0 argument of the getTouch() method is equivalent to the first touch on the screen, and follows this reasoning for the second touch, third...

For example

Input.getTouch(1).isDown()... // detects the second touch on the screen

Input.getTouch(2).isDown()... // detects the third touch on the screen

...

---

isDown()

• Detects touch when the screen is touched.

isUp()

• Detects touch when the screen is released.

isPressed()

• Detects touch while the screen is being pressed.
