[OpenLayers-Users] Mobile Support: Handling a tap like a mouse click...

[Leonhard Dietze]

Hi Steve,

I am currently also testing OpenLayers 2.11-rc1 on a mobile
device (ipad 2). Thank you for starting with this topic, it
showed me that I am not alone.

The click-Event in your first compass/mobile/ application works
perfect on the ipad2, but not the second (compass/mobile2/)
one.

I tried two approaches who do not work:
    var oClick = new OpenLayers.Control.Click();
    map.addControl(oClick);
    oClick.activate();

The second example that I got from searching does not
work either, but I thought that I had it running
once (and also I am not sure if this is not build too
complicated):

OpenLayers.Control.Click=OpenLayers.Class(OpenLayers.Control,{ 

    initialize: function(options) {			
       OpenLayers.Control.prototype.initialize.apply(this, arguments);
       this.handler = new OpenLayers.Handler.Click( this,
          { 'click': myClickHandler }, this.handlerOptions );
    }
});

Did you continue with your compass/mobile Examples? And find out
about the difference in the click-Events? All the other events
work perfectly: Zoom, Pan, Gestures and much better as with my
own Javascript-Handler that I tried to do.
