Touch Events & Gestures: Integrating with Touch Screens<br />

Touch integrations with both websites <strong>and</strong> applications are now playing a major role in both the mobile <strong>and</strong> tablet<br />

world with <strong>to</strong>uch screen moni<strong>to</strong>rs <strong>and</strong> lap<strong>to</strong>ps just around the corner. We can already see that Microsoft has put in a<br />

great amount of effort with Windows 8 allowing its next generation OS <strong>to</strong> be fully <strong>to</strong>uch interactive <strong>and</strong><br />

incorporating Rich HTML5-driven applications. More importantly Oracle also is also recognizing this with its latest<br />

<strong>WebCenter</strong> PatchSet5 released in February.<br />

Data Visualization (DVT)<br />

Graph <strong>and</strong> Gauge now support HTML5 output format, supporting <strong>to</strong>uch gestures for all the major<br />

interactivity features, such as selection, zoom <strong>and</strong> scroll, legend scrolling, time selec<strong>to</strong>r, data cursor <strong>and</strong><br />

magnify lens.<br />

A new web.xml context parameter oracle.adf.view.rich.dvt.DEFAULT_IMAGE_FORMAT was introduced <strong>to</strong><br />

change the default output format <strong>to</strong> HTML5. In addition, a new value for the imageFormat attribute<br />

imageFormat="HTML5" is now supported <strong>to</strong> allow for explicit usage.<br />

Redistributing Touch Events for Tablets<br />

For tablet devices that support <strong>to</strong>uch screens <strong>and</strong> do not have a mouse, the browser simulates some mouse<br />

events, but not all. In order <strong>to</strong> achieve functional equivalency for these platforms, client components need <strong>to</strong><br />

be broadcast <strong>to</strong>uch events. A new <strong>to</strong>uch event object AdfComponentTouchEvent has been made available <strong>to</strong><br />

components when agents support single or multiple "<strong>to</strong>uchScreen" capabilities.<br />

Component peers can conditionally register for <strong>to</strong>uch event h<strong>and</strong>ling using the same mechanism.<br />
