Alright, sounds like that works as expected then. I’ve opened a request to include it into Krita at https://invent.kde.org/szaman/qtbase/-/merge_requests/19 . It probably won’t be in the next release, since that’s already in the process of being built, but I’d suspect the one afterwards will have it.…

:slight_smile: Hello @kwh0209 , and welcome to the forum! If you have bad luck, then Android doesn’t support it, but Krita clearly does support it on the desktop operating systems. Therefore, I can imagine that for you, Android may be the culprit, and you can only use it when you couple your Movink …

Krita does read the barrel rotation input, but it may be that the stylus doesn’t transmit its rotation the normal way and instead uses some other axis. This kind of thing happens a lot with Android hardware. I can try to fix it, but it will have to be through Drawpile, it uses the same input code. …

[image] Drawpile: Does that number change if you do a barrel rotation or does it always stay at 0°? Or if it’s neither, is it maybe related to the direction you tilt the pen in? Thank you for your developing! I tried it with your app few minutes ago. Neither the R=number is 0, nor change whe…

Alright, thanks! I’ll implement the reading of other stylus properties when I get time, I’ll let you know when I got something to test.

I’ll be waiting for that. thank you!

I’ve implemented a debug view for the raw Android stylus properties now in the Drawpile alpha now. Same link as before, it gets updated in place: https://github.com/drawpile/Drawpile/releases/tag/continuous Install that, then go into Tools → Developer Tools → Debug Input Events. This gives you a ta…

[image] Drawpile: The most likely candidates I’d suspect are 0.RX, 0.RY or 0.RZ ones or maybe one of the GENERIC_* ones. I found that the barrel rotation is related with 0.RZ When the pen button is at the 6 o’clock position , it pointed to 0 degrees. the degree has increased when I spin my …

Okay, thanks! Looks like that’s the correct value then, just upside-down from what’s normal. At least that’s how I’m interpreting the Qt framework’s documentation on it , it says 0° is supposed to point toward the top, which I would assume means the buttons are directed there. I’ve made a build of D…

[image] Drawpile: Help → Tablet Tester should show the barrel rotation now anyway. If that works, I can start the process of including it into Krita. yes the R=(number)° is changing when I do a barrel rotation with the new build [image] Drawpile: I guess you can try to edit the standard …

Barrel rotations seems doesn't work in android system

Thank you very much. I’ll be waiting for it.

Will stylus support for barrel roll be available on Android soon?
