Can't get onTouch to execute

Troubleshooting android
#1

Hi, I need to work with multiple finger inputs and I need to know their position always. So ActionListener is rather worthless in this case.
So I thought I’d use
[java]@Override
public void onTouch(String name, TouchEvent evt, float tpf)
{[/java]
Only problem is that it’s never executed.
Nomather how much I move my fingers on the screen, nothing prints.
And the only gui that’s running is an empty screen which does’nt contain any panels or layers at all.
I’v even attached the game instance as a listener using MainGame.getInput().addListener(MainActivity.thais,“main”); //thais = this

So idk what more to do to make this work… Am I missing something?

onTouch works fine, but you have to implement TouchListener. Below is a simple example Main class and LogCat.

[java]
public class Main extends SimpleApplication implements ActionListener, AnalogListener, TouchListener, RawInputListener {
private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(Main.class.getName());

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Main app = new Main();

    AppSettings settings = new AppSettings(true);
    settings.setResolution(960, 540); // phone landscape mode

// settings.setResolution(540, 960); // phone portrait mode
app.setSettings(settings);
app.setShowSettings(false);
app.setDisplayFps(true);
// app.setDisplayStatView(false);

    app.start();
}

@Override
public void simpleInitApp() {
    flyCam.setDragToRotate(true);

    Box b = new Box(Vector3f.ZERO, 1, 1, 1);
    Geometry geom = new Geometry("Box", b);

    Material mat = new Material(assetManager, "Common/MatDefs/Misc/Unshaded.j3md");
    mat.setColor("Color", ColorRGBA.Blue);
    TextureKey texKey = new TextureKey("Textures/Sky/Lagoon/lagoon_west.jpg", true);
    Texture tex = assetManager.loadTexture(texKey);
    mat.setTexture("ColorMap", tex);
    geom.setMaterial(mat);

    rootNode.attachChild(geom);

    String[] mappings = {
        "Main_Button_Left",
        "Main_Button_Middle",
        "Main_Button_Right",
        "Main_Axis_X_Plus",
        "Main_Axis_X_Minus",
        "Main_Axis_Y_Plus",
        "Main_Axis_Y_Minus",
        "Main_Axis_Wheel_Plus",
        "Main_Axis_Wheel_Minus",
        "Main_Touch_All",
    };

    inputManager.addMapping("Main_Button_Left", new MouseButtonTrigger(MouseInput.BUTTON_LEFT));
    inputManager.addMapping("Main_Button_Middle", new MouseButtonTrigger(MouseInput.BUTTON_MIDDLE));
    inputManager.addMapping("Main_Button_Right", new MouseButtonTrigger(MouseInput.BUTTON_RIGHT));
    inputManager.addMapping("Main_Axis_X_Plus", new MouseAxisTrigger(MouseInput.AXIS_X, false));
    inputManager.addMapping("Main_Axis_X_Minus", new MouseAxisTrigger(MouseInput.AXIS_X, true));
    inputManager.addMapping("Main_Axis_Y_Plus", new MouseAxisTrigger(MouseInput.AXIS_Y, false));
    inputManager.addMapping("Main_Axis_Y_Minus", new MouseAxisTrigger(MouseInput.AXIS_Y, true));
    inputManager.addMapping("Main_Axis_Wheel_Plus", new MouseAxisTrigger(MouseInput.AXIS_WHEEL, false));
    inputManager.addMapping("Main_Axis_Wheel_Minus", new MouseAxisTrigger(MouseInput.AXIS_WHEEL, true));
    inputManager.addMapping("Main_Touch_All", new TouchTrigger(TouchInput.ALL));

    inputManager.addListener(this, mappings);
    inputManager.addRawInputListener(this);
}
