[SOLVED] Touch events End/Cancel

Help & Support

What is the diffrence between onTouchEnd and onTouchCancel?

touchMove, touchStart, touchEnd, touchCancel are part of the multi-touch sequence. A multi-touch sequence begins when a finger first touches the surface (touchStart).

  • touchstart - fired when a touch point is placed on the touch surface.
  • touchmove - fired when a touch point is moved along the touch surface.
  • touchend - fired when a touch point is removed from the touch surface.
  • touchcancel - fired when a touch point has been disrupted in an implementation-specific manner (for example, too many touch points are created).

So from what I understand, touchCancel will fire when the multi-touch sequence is being disrupted e.g. by another finger touching the surface. Whereas touchEnd will mean the sequence has been successfully completed.

Okay that’s clear! Thanks @Leonidas!
