event.phase

Overview

A string identifying where in the relative touch sequence the event occurred. Can be one of the following values:

• "began" — indicates that a relative touch has started on the device.
• "moved" — indicates that a relative touch has moved on the device.
• "ended" — indicates that a relative touch has been lifted from the device.
• "cancelled" — indicates that the system cancelled tracking of the relative touch (not to be confused with "ended").

Example

local phaseText = display.newText( "", display.contentCenterX, display.contentCenterY )

local function updateText( event )
    phaseText.text = event.phase
end
Runtime:addEventListener( "relativeTouch", updateText )
