Added to Android gestures

I agree there should be a separate section just discussing android. I havent experienced the stroke issues.

I believe i mentioned it before but it would be great if krita detects the eraser tip from the wacom pens. With a wacom emr pen you can use it on a s22 ultra. Other mobile apps have compatibility.

For what I’ve read, the Krita for desktop use the second tip to store a brush preset, so this can be used to quickly swap between two favourite brush presets. So if you choose a eraser brush with that tip it will be stored, have you tried doing this?
Maybe it’s not implemented yet on the android, @sh-zam should be able to enlighten us with this.
But just to share how it’s supposed to work on Krita, you have to select a brush with it.

I had a pen with this tip before but never used it, i find way more faster just selecting other brush than rotating the pen on my hand every time i want to erase :sweat_smile:.

@sh-zam I found that strange behavior :smiley: when you will start stroke ( just click on canvas) and don’t move pen for a moment after that stroke is" freeze" ( you will add only a dot on canvas nothing more ) you need to take pen from screen and start again to draw. @AxelFar can you replicate that bug ?

No, it looks like the problem i had before sh-zam fixed the right button problem, are you sure you’re using the last apk version?
Try to uninstall it and install it again (not install over it), and let us know if you still have it.

@AxelFar I will try that way. Reinstall of app will delate all my presets ?

Unfortunately yes, backup your brushes before doing this, you will also lose all other configurations you’ve changed on Krita and will need to change them again.

hello I updated my krita from the one on gdrive link and it seems i lost the hold to right click functionality :sweat_smile: [either way might’ve gotten my settings messed up, but i made sure touch painting is off]

This is a great idea, @raghukamath , can this be possible?

The hold to Right click was causing some issues with painting, being unintentionally activated with the pen while drawing, we discussed it in the previously comments, so sh-zam removed the functionality, i think that he will add it in the future in other way, maybe as a gesture option.

Any way to access or emulate rightclick. Im pretty new to krita on android ? Honestly just wanna change toolbar icon size :sweat_smile:.

Not a bad idea, I will make a sub forum in the development category.

If you press and hold with your finger, not the pen, it should still works as a right click on dockers, it works on the toolbox so you can change the icon size, and also on layers so you can still acess layers options for example.

Also @sh-zam, i realized that by default the “One finger tap” is on “Pan Canvas”, wich isn’t usable, i think you should place it in the “Show Pop Widget” by default.

It would be great :smiley:

thank you, i got it. :slight_smile:

After reinstall everything works great :slight_smile: I must say that krita on android right now is super solid I did not expect to many crashes ( at least not as many as other app :smiley: )
Did you know that now krita works with the s-pen gesture actions :D? In older version it wasn’t work Gesture with s-pen action are amazing combo :smiley:

It has been merged :slight_smile:

Actually, Krita can detect an eraser tip. So something must be wrong somewhere else. Can you please test the APK from XP-Pen Artist 12 (2nd gen) other issues on Android, Samsung Note 9 - #6 by sh-zam and post/mail me the screenshot, so I’ll get an idea.

This also makes me think if we should make SPen’s button act as an eraser (provided as a configurable option).

I’ve fixed it and the small bug with popup palette and tap gesture. I can update the APK to a new version if you want to test :slight_smile:

The eraser tip works i see. I must have overlooked something before but it works.

Im one of those thatbuse one finger drag for pan and works great since i draw with pen on one hand and pan with the other hand.

Ideas on Android devices.

Touch

  • one finger for a long time: dropper
  • two fingers: undo
  • three fingers: redo
  • four fingers: canva only
  • S-Pen button: toggle eraser

Gestures:

  • one finger: eraser
  • two fingers: move and zoom the canvas

Thanks!

@sh-zam The S-Pen Button is recognizable as middle mouse button right know, i use it to Color Pick, so it’s possible to do it already, on the “Touch Gesture” i can add a Mouse Button action type, press the S-pen button, that will be recognized as middle button, and select Toggle Eraser.
I think it just need to be more clear, maybe if you could add a new type ( like there is Gesture, Mouse button, Mouse wheel, Key Combination) called “S-pen button” (with the middle button already on it) it would be very clear and possible to use everywhere. Maybe rename “Touch Gestures” with just “Gestures”, since touch gestures can be used in every other menu, and to show better that this “S-Pen Button” type could be used there too.
Anyway, just an idea i think would not be hard to do as it use what is already there.
Also the "Button Action on “S-pen Actions”, with the click and double click option, don’t work right now, so i think it would be interesting to remove it if the current “middle mouse” approach will be used, or rework how the S-pen Button work and use this menu.

Since I’m using your builds as main apk now, yes i would like it :grinning:

@cosmos10040, the one finger drag on Pan is great, I’ve mean one finger tap that isn’t usable.
You have to drag to Pan, just tapping on canvas for it do nothing so it’s better for the one finger tap to be elsewhere by default. Just to be clear.
By default one finger drag is on Color Pick, but can be easy changed to Pan on settings, I also like to use it for Pan.

Also, does anyone else likes to use the S-Pen button to Color Pick? I think it’s the best place for it and couldn’t actually paint without it, have to use finger for it slow me down by a lot.

All of that it’s already possible now if you change the settings :grinning:
