BaseTapGestureRecognizer class abstract

A base class for gesture recognizers that recognize taps.

Gesture recognizers take part in gesture arenas to enable potential gestures to be disambiguated from each other. This process is managed by a GestureArenaManager.

A tap is defined as a sequence of events that starts with a down, followed by optional moves, then ends with an up. All move events must contain the same buttons as the down event, and must not be too far from the initial position. The gesture is rejected on any violation, a cancel event, or if any other recognizers wins the arena. It is accepted only when it is the last member of the arena.

The BaseTapGestureRecognizer considers all the pointers involved in the pointer event sequence as contributing to one gesture. For this reason, extra pointer interactions during a tap sequence are not recognized as additional taps. For example, down-1, down-2, up-1, up-2 produces only one tap on up-1.

The BaseTapGestureRecognizer can not be directly used, since it does not define which buttons to accept, or what to do when a tap happens. If you want to build a custom tap recognizer, extend this class by overriding isPointerAllowed and the handler methods.

See also:

  • TapGestureRecognizer, a ready-to-use tap recognizer that recognizes taps of the primary button and taps of the secondary button.
  • ModalBarrier, a widget that uses a custom tap recognizer that accepts any buttons.

Constructors

BaseTapGestureRecognizer({Object? debugOwner, Set<PointerDeviceKind>? supportedDevices, AllowedButtonsFilter? allowedButtonsFilter})
Creates a tap gesture recognizer.

Properties

deadline Duration?
If non-null, the recognizer will call didExceedDeadline after this amount of time has elapsed since starting to track the primary pointer.
finalinherited
debugDescription String
Returns a very short pretty description of the gesture that the recognizer looks for, like 'tap' or 'horizontal drag'.
no setteroverride
debugOwner Object?
The recognizer's owner.
finalinherited
gestureSettings DeviceGestureSettings?
Optional device specific configuration for device gestures that will take precedence over framework defaults.
getter/setter pairinherited
hashCode int
The hash code for this object.
no setterinherited
initialPosition OffsetPair?
The location at which the primary pointer contacted the screen.
no setterinherited
postAcceptSlopTolerance double?
The maximum distance in logical pixels the gesture is allowed to drift after the gesture has been accepted.
finalinherited
preAcceptSlopTolerance double?
The maximum distance in logical pixels the gesture is allowed to drift from the initial touch down position before the gesture is accepted.
finalinherited
primaryPointer int?
The ID of the primary pointer this recognizer is tracking.
no setterinherited
runtimeType Type
A representation of the runtime type of the object.
no setterinherited
state GestureRecognizerState
The current state of the recognizer.
no setterinherited
supportedDevices Set<PointerDeviceKind>?
The kind of devices that are allowed to be recognized as provided by supportedDevices in the constructor, or the currently deprecated kind. These cannot both be set. If both are null, events from all device kinds will be tracked and recognized.
getter/setter pairinherited
team GestureArenaTeam?
The team that this recognizer belongs to, if any.

Add additional properties associated with the node.
override
didExceedDeadline() → void
Override to be notified when deadline is exceeded.
override
didExceedDeadlineWithEvent(PointerDownEvent event) → void
Same as didExceedDeadline but receives the event that initiated the gesture.
inherited
didStopTrackingLastPointer(int pointer) → void
Called when the number of pointers this recognizer is tracking changes from one to zero.
inherited
dispose() → void
Releases any resources used by the object.
inherited
getKindForPointer(int pointer) PointerDeviceKind
For a given pointer ID, returns the device kind associated with it.
inherited
handleEvent(PointerEvent event) → void

inherited
handleNonAllowedPointer(PointerDownEvent event) → void
Handles a pointer being added that's not allowed by this recognizer.
inherited
handleNonAllowedPointerPanZoom(PointerPanZoomStartEvent event) → void
Handles a pointer pan/zoom being added that's not allowed by this recognizer.
inherited
handlePrimaryPointer(PointerEvent event) → void
Override to provide behavior for the primary pointer when the gesture is still possible.
override
handleTapCancel({required PointerDownEvent down, PointerCancelEvent? cancel, required String reason}) → void
A pointer that previously triggered handleTapDown will not end up causing a tap.
handleTapDown({required PointerDownEvent down}) → void
A pointer has contacted the screen, which might be the start of a tap.
handleTapUp({required PointerDownEvent down, required PointerUpEvent up}) → void
A pointer has stopped contacting the screen, which is recognized as a tap.
invokeCallback<T>(String name, RecognizerCallback<T> callback, {String debugReport()?}) → T?
Invoke a callback provided by the application, catching and logging any exceptions.
inherited

Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.
inherited
rejectGesture(int pointer) → void
Called when this member loses the arena for the given pointer id.
