Question by spyshower · Aug 27, 2012 at 01:01 PM · androidtouchaspect ratio

Android - Normalize touch position based on mobile screen size

Hello there,

What I am trying to do for the latest hours is to normalize the position I get from touch.position to make it work on multiple devices with different aspect ratios and resolutions.

The code I have (doesn't work) is here:

 function TouchYWorld (touch : Touch) {
     
     touch.position.y = (touch.position.y / Screen.height) * frustumHeight; //height is 320
     return touch.position.y;
 
 }

However I get a warning that tells me assignment is temporary, which I can't really explain why it happens.

I have also tried using a temporary value:

 var temp = touch.position;
 temp.x = (touch.position.x / Screen.width) * frustumWidth;
 touch.position.x = temp.x;

You're not suposed to change the original values from the "touch" variable.

Save the value to a new variable or return it directly:

 function TouchYWorld (touch : Touch) {
     var y = (touch.position.y / Screen.height) * frustumHeight;
     return y;
 }

 function TouchYWorld (touch : Touch) {
     return (touch.position.y / Screen.height) * frustumHeight;
 }
