Dears Users, can you help me with this event onGenericMotionEvent on my new Google Glass Library....

The HelloWorldActivity.java develop in ADT and work 100%, it´s intercept all types of touch in Google Glass Touchpad.

The FirstLib.java is a wrapper of gdk.jar and I´m compiling with SIMPLE LIBRARY COMPILER and compile OK and works OK in B4A but the touchs is not intercepting, what I have to do wrong? The code is basicly the same.

I think the onGenericMotionEvent is not called, but where tu put them?

Please, only left this to this library works!

You can handle the onGenericMotionEvent by following these steps:
1. Add the following class to your library:
B4X:
package anywheresoftware.b4a.objects;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import anywheresoftware.b4a.BA;

public class ActivityEx extends Activity {

   @Override
   public boolean onGenericMotionEvent(MotionEvent event) {
     try {
       BA ba = (BA) this.getClass().getField("processBA").get(null);
       ba.raiseEvent(null, "activity_ongenericmotionevent", event);
       return true;
     } catch (Exception e) {
       throw new RuntimeException(e);
     }
   }
   @Override
   public void onUserInteraction() {
     super.onUserInteraction();
     try {
       BA ba = (BA) this.getClass().getField("processBA").get(null);
       ba.raiseEvent2(null,true,  "activity_onuserinteraction", false);
     } catch (Exception e) {
       throw new RuntimeException(e);
     }
   }
}

Add the following line to your activity:
B4X:
#Extends: anywheresoftware.b4a.objects.ActivityEx

And handle the events in your code:
B4X:
Sub Activity_OnUserInteraction
   Log("OnUserInteraction")
End Sub

Sub Activity_OnGenericMotionEvent(event As Object)
   Log(event)
End Sub

The OnUserInteraction is just an example. You can remove it.

I added this class in my library, but when compile with Simple Compile Library, got this error:

Starting step: Compiling Java code.
javac 1.7.0_21
H:\Android\Library\GoogleGlassLibrary\GlassLib\src\anywharesoftware\b4a\sample\FirstLib.java:38: error: class ActivityEx is public, should be declared in a file named ActivityEx.java

Create a new file named ActivityEx.java and add it to your project. It should be under: anywheresoftware\b4a\objects.
I am also trying to compile this code using the Simple Library Compiler but get the following compile error :
Starting step: Compiling Java code.
javac 1.6.0_45
C:\Users\jon\Documents\B4ALibs\moga\src\anywheresoftware\b4a\objects\ActivityEx.java:9: method does not override or implement a method from a supertype
@override
^
1 error

Error.
Sorry, but I don't know how to correct this error. I am trying to write a library to interface to the moga controller and this code looks like it could do the job.

Which version of Android.jar are you referencing? Try to reference the latest one.
I am using your Simple Library Compiler V 1.01. How do I reference Android.jar ?

I just copied your code in post #2 above to a file called C:\Users\jon\Documents\B4ALibs\moga\src\anywheresoftware\b4a\objects\ActivityEx.java. Ran your SLC, specified the project folder as C:\Users\jon\Documents\B4ALibs\moga, clicked compile and got the error mentioned above.
