Swipe controls?

Issue #288 resolved
Bojan Radovic created an issue

First off all, I would like to say that the STB Emulator app is fantastic! Second, I have a suggestion for you. It's just an idea that came up to my mind, about the overlay buttons. I think it would be great if we could choose between two types of controls, like we can choose between media players. One to be the overlay buttons, and one to be swipe controls (the more simple one). When we swipe up/down, the volume goes up/down, and when we swipe left/right the channels go +/-. I hope you understand what am I trying to say. Best regards!

    Hi. Actually, there is a swipe control :) Press "hand" screen key to switch to it (on the right side above screen keys). For now there are next swipes: left, right, top, up, down, double tap as "OK". Most devices have hardware volume control keys so I didn't make this swipe.

    Well...I feel kind of silly right now. :) I don't know how I haven't noticed this before. Thank you!

    I've tested this. I've noticed that it is to sensitive. The swipe move has to be very very precise in order to change only one channel. If I swipe fast from the top of the screen to the bottom, it shifts several channels at once. I have a suggestion...you could split the screen like in the image below, and instead of swiping, all we need is taping in certain areas of the screen. i.e. one tap to the right area of the screen (marked as CH+) shifts one channel up etc. The middle part has the OK button function. Best regards!

    Swipe controls !!! Swipe controls do not work well. blocks when changing channels. is not stable. ch + and ch- should be left to the right, and the volume + and Volume - should be up and down
