Touch event for a panel on a scrollview.

[Mickster]

I made a spinning dial object which uses a Panel and the touch event to determine where the user has moved their finger and thus how the dial should be manipulated.

When I place a bunch of these dials on the panel of a scrollview, the Panel_Touch even of the dial gets run simultaneously with the changing position of the scrollview itself, making it impossible to actually use the dial.

Is there a way to prevent the scrollview from sliding? Or to get the scrollview to recognise that my dial is actually capturing the event?

You will need to send requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent to the parent of the control/view getting the touch event. It works best in the Move Action. There are some examples here and it is easy to do in a library too if you are good in Eclipse.

Awesome, thanks!
