I am coding a little game with libgdx for android mobile devices, and I am stuck with a button. (It is a TextButton) I want to move an object continuosly, while that button is pressed.
newGameButton.addListener(new InputListener() {
public boolean touchDown(InputEvent event, float x, float y, int pointer, int button) {
object.x += 200 * Gdx.graphics.getDeltaTime();
return false;
}
});
My problem is, the object moves only one frame (because the button is pressed only once), but I want it to move as long as the button is held down. I also tried it with switching a boolean variable from FALSE to TRUE every time that listener sends a "down" signal, but it still does not get me more than one frame of movement.
I figured out, in the
@Override
public void render() {...}
method, there is a Gdx.input.isButtonPressed() method, but that one only seems to work for mousebuttons.
I think I read almost any tutorial and help page, but I still can't figure this out. The solution is quite simple I guess, since most answers to similiar topics refer to the touchDown method.
Any help is much appreciated!
