Touch events delivered to apps even when touchscreen is disabled

Please state what you think is the bug. What do you expect (with your words) when you return true in these functions and what happens instead. Also to make sure which functions are called please implement all the functions and add a log in their 1st line so you'll see which of them are actually called and in which order. Also don't forget all the functions in InputDelegate as well.

Similarly, about isTouchScreen: show the settings enabled, what is the value, show the settings disabled, what is the value.

Also when you post a question in the forum (especially if you state it as a bug report) add details needed to reproduce: SDK version, which physical device, what is the firmware version on it, or if it's in the simulator then state that and which simulated device it was.

I'm a new developer, and maybe I'm missing something, but after many hours of research and trial and error, I still think it's a bug. If that's not the case, I'd very much appreciate some help. Let me explain why I still think so:

Firstly, I removed all the conditions and added these to my class HyroxSmashDelegate extends WatchUi.BehaviorDelegate:

function onTap(clickEvent) {
return true;
}

function onSwipe(swipeEvent) {
return true;
}

function onHold(clickEvent) {
return true;
}

function onRelease(clickEvent) {
return true;
}

According to this page, "To process input events, extend the WatchUi.InputDelegate and override the appropriate handler operation. If you return true in the handler, the system will know the event has been handled. Returning false will tell the system to handle the input. All the touch inputs still work after this.

Secondly, according to this page, isTouchScreen should return true if it is enabled in the settings. 

Because isTouchScreen tells you about the capability of your device, and if the device has touch then you continue.

You need to read the docs and understand what the 2 fields mean and decide which one to use.

You need to fix isTouchAllowed and it will work

Thanks for your response. The issue is that no matter what's the response of System.getDeviceSettings(), the default touch screen behaviour (tap = select, swipeDown = previousPage, swipeUp = nextPage, swipeRight = back) is active. 

I tried two directions: 
1. Relying on System.getDeviceSettings() (tried different variants of this code)

function isTouchAllowed() as Boolean{
var settings = System.getDeviceSettings();
   if (settings has :isTouchScreen) { return settings.isTouchScreen; }

   if (settings has :isTouchScreenActive) { return settings.isTouchScreenActive; }
   ...
}

function onTap(clickEvent) {
   if (!isTouchAllowed()) {
       return true;
   }
   return onSelect();
}

function onSwipe(swipeEvent) {
   if (!isTouchAllowed()) {
       return true;
   }
   var dir = swipeEvent.getDirection();
   if (dir == WatchUi.SWIPE_UP) { return onPreviousPage(); }
   if (dir == WatchUi.SWIPE_DOWN) { return onNextPage(); }
   return true;
}

2. Made a settings property called 
public var touchEnabled = false;
...
else if (id.equals("toggle_touch")) {
   _mainDelegate.touchEnabled = !_mainDelegate.touchEnabled;
   item.setSubLabel(_mainDelegate.touchEnabled ? "On" : "Off");
}

and put the if conditions on all the actions (tap, swipe...). Didn't change anything in the default touch behaviour.

This is not a bug report. And it's not exactly a feature request either. Looks like a question you could've asked in the discussion forum. 

If you want your app to honor the user preference then why is it not enough to check DeviceSettings? You could also add an app setting on relevant devices
