一、一些常量
常见的动作常量:
public static final int ACTION_DOWN = 0;单点触摸动作
public static final int ACTION_UP = 1;单点触摸离开动作
public static final int ACTION_MOVE = 2;触摸点移动动作
public static final int ACTION_CANCEL = 3;触摸动作取消
public static final int ACTION_OUTSIDE = 4;触摸动作超出边界
public static final int ACTION_POINTER_DOWN = 5;多点触摸动作
public static final int ACTION_POINTER_UP = 6;多点离开动作
以下是一些非touch事件
public static final int ACTION_HOVER_MOVE = 7;
public static final int ACTION_SCROLL = 8;
public static final int ACTION_HOVER_ENTER = 9;
public static final int ACTION_HOVER_EXIT = 10;
掩码常量
ACTION_MASK = 0X000000ff
动作掩码
ACTION_POINTER_INDEX_MASK = 0X0000ff00
触摸点索引掩码
ACTION_POINTER_INDEX_SHIFT = 8 获取触摸点索引需要移动的位数

二、相关方法
getAction()方法返回的是int类型,用到的只有低16位,其中:低八位是动作的类型,高8位是触摸点索引值的表示(单点为0,双点为1)
获得动作类型: int action = event.getAction() & ACTION_MASK 或者使用 getActionMasked()
获得触摸点索引类型: int pointerIndex = (event.getAction() & ACTION_POINTER_INDEX_MASK ) >> ACTION_POINTER_INDEX_SHIFT
或者使用 getActionIndex()
为什么要有索引信息?
有了索引信息,我们可以在onTOuchEvent事件中判断传进来的MotionEvent对象对应的是单点信息还是多点信息。
下面的代码段能使用户在屏幕上拖动一个对象。它记录了初始点的位置,计算点移动的距离,并将对象移动到新的位置。它正确的处理了这种情况:当第一个手指把控件拖到一个位置,然后按下第二个手指,且第二个手指与同一个控件上。当用户抬起第一个手指时,控件不会跑到第二个手指的位置同时第二个手指可以继续拖动控件。

private int mActivePointerId = INVALID_POINTER_ID;  

@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
// Let the ScaleGestureDetector inspect all events.
mScaleDetector.onTouchEvent(ev);

final int action = MotionEventCompat.getActionMasked(ev);

switch (action) {
case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN: {
final int pointerIndex = MotionEventCompat.getActionIndex(ev);
final float x = MotionEventCompat.getX(ev, pointerIndex);
final float y = MotionEventCompat.getY(ev, pointerIndex);

// Remember where we started (for dragging)
mLastTouchX = x;
mLastTouchY = y;
// Save the ID of this pointer (for dragging)
mActivePointerId = MotionEventCompat.getPointerId(ev, 0);
break;
}

case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE: {
// Find the index of the active pointer and fetch its position
final int pointerIndex =
MotionEventCompat.findPointerIndex(ev, mActivePointerId);

final float x = MotionEventCompat.getX(ev, pointerIndex);
final float y = MotionEventCompat.getY(ev, pointerIndex);

// Only move if the ScaleGestureDetector isn't processing a gesture.
if (!mScaleDetector.isInProgress()) {
// Calculate the distance moved
final float dx = x - mLastTouchX;
final float dy = y - mLastTouchY;

mPosX += dx;
mPosY += dy;

invalidate();
}
// Remember this touch position for the next move event
mLastTouchX = x;
mLastTouchY = y;

break;
}

case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP: {
mActivePointerId = INVALID_POINTER_ID;
break;
}

case MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL: {
mActivePointerId = INVALID_POINTER_ID;
break;
}

case MotionEvent.ACTION_POINTER_UP: {

final int pointerIndex = MotionEventCompat.getActionIndex(ev);
final int pointerId = MotionEventCompat.getPointerId(ev, pointerIndex);

if (pointerId == mActivePointerId) {
// This was our active pointer going up. Choose a new
// active pointer and adjust accordingly.
final int newPointerIndex = pointerIndex == 0 ? 1 : 0;
mLastTouchX = MotionEventCompat.getX(ev, newPointerIndex);
mLastTouchY = MotionEventCompat.getY(ev, newPointerIndex);
mActivePointerId = MotionEventCompat.getPointerId(ev, newPointerIndex);
}
break;
}
}
return true;
