Coding for click event on mobile

[Kartika]

Hi.

I am trying to make my canvas based javascript game work for mobile. I would like to know how to translate 'click' event to touch based event. tap is given as an alternative but I am unable to find the event name . documentation just gives touchstart,touchmove and touch end. Will I have to use a package like jquery mobile?

 

TIA

to simulate "tap", you need to make use of both "touchstart" and "touchend" events.

var isTouchStart = false;document.addEventListener("touchstart", function(event){     isTouchStart = true;}, false);document.addEventListener("touchend", function(event){     if(isTouchStart == true)    {        isTouchStart = false;        console.log("tap was success!");    }}, false);

something similar to above.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I am using touchstart and touchend for different purpose. jquery mobile actually uses a timer. I guess that would also be required.
