Can Draggable detect mobile touch tap events?

[ecsancho]

I've just started testing with Draggable and I am impress on how well it performs on mobile. I was wondering if Gsap is able to detect mobile touch events?  Thanks!

Sure, a lot of effort went into making Draggable work across pretty much all mobile devices meaning it handles touch events on iOS, Android, Windows Phone, etc. Does that answer your question or were you asking something else?

Thanks for the reply. I'm trying to switch all my jquery mobile touch events (tap, swipe left/right) to Gsap Draggable because jquery feels  unresponsive, like there's a short delay to respond and Gsap feels so much more smoother and responsive. So how would I go about detecting tap and then respond with a function?  Something like Draggable.tap('#button', {}) ?

Draggable has both onPress and onClick callbacks. 

 

onPress : Function - a function that should be called as soon as the mouse (or touch) presses down on the element

 

onClick : Function - a function that should be called only when the mouse/touch is pressed on the element and released without moving 3 pixels or more. This makes it easier to discern the user's intent (click or drag). 

 

see docs for more info on both: http://greensock.com/docs/#/HTML5/Drag/Draggable/

 

 

Here is a demo that illustrates the common callbacks

Feel free to test on your device.

 

To clarify, Draggable has very robust direction-sensing cababilities built in: http://greensock.com/gsap-1-16 (scroll down for awesome demos) but it does not detect or have callbacks for swipes.

Draggable is definitely fast and I like the demos and documentation. I'm wondering if anybody's created a Cordova/Phonegap app that also includes Draggable yet, possibly something that would fit in with ng+ionic standard.
