Samung S-Pen detection in cordova app

Question

I am developing a cordova app with ionic. I have some drawing functionality using canvas. Is there any way to detect whether user is drawing with finger or a S-Pen(Stylus) provided by samsung with mobile/tablet.

Either find a plugin or develop one yourself. – Jul 29 '15 at 12:39 — , Jul 29 '15 at 12:39

I think you cant, you can only diferenciate between touch events or keyboard/mouse events, so S Pen should trigger the touch ones. The only way is to create a plugin based on the S-Pen SDK provided by Samsung

I think finger touch or S Pen touch both will fire touch events. Can i differenciate between them? – Mayank Kumar Jul 29 '15 at 13:18

Only with the s-pen SDK, SO you would need to embeed it in a cordova plugin to achieve that – Víctor Jul 29 '15 at 13:40
