An extendable Java framework of multitouch gesture detectors for Android, modeled after Android's built-in ScaleGestureDetector. It provides detectors for rotation, movement, and two-finger shove gestures that plug into the standard OnTouchListener pattern.

Use cases

• detect two-finger rotation gestures in an Android app
• move objects around the screen with one or more fingers
• detect vertical two-finger shove gestures
• pinch-to-zoom and rotate images or maps
• build custom multitouch gesture detectors on Android

When to choose

• you need rotate, move, or shove gesture detection on Android beyond the built-in ScaleGestureDetector
• you want a clean, object-oriented, extendable gesture detector framework
• you want drop-in classes following the Android gesture detector pattern

When to avoid

• you only need pinch-to-zoom scaling, which Android's built-in ScaleGestureDetector already provides
• you need gesture recognition for complex shapes or machine-learned gestures
• you are not developing for Android
