There are quite a few Android PCs available now, using mouse and keyboard, and a mouse or a wireless mouse is used quite often together with an Android Set Top Box connected to a TV.
The mouse wheel is supported in many Android applications, e.g. the browser.
So the wheel exists in Android, and is supported by Android. Android Apps can react on mouse wheel events, see also http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11024809/how-can-my-view-respond-to-a-mousewheel
Example Java code from the link above, I guess this could be added to QtActivity:
@@Override
public boolean onGenericMotionEvent(MotionEvent event) {
if (0 != (event.getSource() & InputDevice.SOURCE_CLASS_POINTER)) {
switch (event.getAction()) {
case MotionEvent.ACTION_SCROLL:
if (event.getAxisValue(MotionEvent.AXIS_VSCROLL) < 0.0f)
selectNext()
else
selectPrev();
return true;
}
}
return super.onGenericMotionEvent(event);
}@
And IMHO we need the mouse wheel supported in Qt for Android too, of course.
