Touchscreen input rotation using QEvent (evenfilter) - raspberry

[etiennedm]

Hello everyone,
I am using raspberry 3 with qt 5.6 (cross compilation). I had some issues with the touchscreen (robopeak 2.8") to rotate it, but after applying a patch to qt, I am able to rotate the screen via the linux framebuffer (see http://borkedlabs.com/2015/06/01/qt5-linuxfb-rotation-for-lcds/).
But now, the view is 90-rotated, and the input events stayed as they were. Which means I have to tap on the bottom left to activate my button on the top left...

I tried to filter the QEvent from my touchscreen, and apply a rotation to them, but without success... I don't understand, I think I have catched all the event.
I used the eventFilter method, and because I don't know which event calls the "clicked()" signal on all my button, I catch mouse and touch events :

mainwindow.h

protected:
    bool eventFilter(QObject *obj, QEvent *ev);

mainwindow.cpp

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent),
    ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
    qApp->installEventFilter(this);
...
}

bool MainWindow::eventFilter(QObject *obj, QEvent *ev)
{
    if (ev->type() == QEvent::MouseButtonPress || ev->type() == QEvent::MouseButtonRelease || ev->type() == QEvent::MouseMove) {

        QMouseEvent *tmp_ev = (QMouseEvent*) ev;

        QPointF tmp_pos = tmp_ev->windowPos();
//        qDebug() << tmp_pos.x() << "  -  " << tmp_pos.y() ;
        qreal tmp_v = tmp_pos.x();
        tmp_pos.setX(tmp_pos.y() * 240 / 320);
        tmp_pos.setY(320 - tmp_v * 320 / 240);
//        qDebug() << tmp_pos.x() << "  -  " << tmp_pos.y() ;
        QMouseEvent *new_ev = new QMouseEvent(tmp_ev->type(), tmp_pos, tmp_pos, tmp_pos, tmp_ev->button(), tmp_ev->buttons(), tmp_ev->modifiers());
        ev = (QEvent*) new_ev;
//        qDebug() << ">> " << ((QMouseEvent*)ev)->pos().x() << "  -  " << ((QMouseEvent*)ev)->pos().y();
        return QMainWindow::eventFilter(obj, ev);
    }
    else if(ev->type() == QEvent::Enter || ev->type() == QEvent::Leave)
    {
        QEnterEvent *tmp_ev = (QEnterEvent*) ev;
        qDebug() << ev->type() << " : " << ((QEnterEvent*)ev)->localPos().x() << "  -  " << ((QEnterEvent*)ev)->localPos().y();

        QPointF tmp_pos = tmp_ev->localPos();
        qreal tmp_v = tmp_pos.x();
        tmp_pos.setX(tmp_pos.y() * 240 / 320);
        tmp_pos.setY(320 - tmp_v * 320 / 240);
        QEnterEvent *new_ev = new QEnterEvent(tmp_pos, tmp_pos, tmp_pos);
        ev = (QEvent*) new_ev;
        qDebug() << ev->type() << " : " << ((QEnterEvent*)ev)->localPos().x() << "  -  " << ((QEnterEvent*)ev)->localPos().y();

        return QMainWindow::eventFilter(obj, ev);

    }
    else if(ev->type() == QEvent::HoverMove)
    {
        QMouseEvent *tmp_ev = (QMouseEvent*) ev;
        QPointF tmp_pos = tmp_ev->windowPos();
        tmp_pos.setX(340);
        tmp_pos.setY(340);
        QMouseEvent *new_ev = new QMouseEvent(tmp_ev->type(), tmp_pos, tmp_pos, tmp_pos, tmp_ev->button(), tmp_ev->buttons(), tmp_ev->modifiers());
        ev = (QEvent*) new_ev;
        return QMainWindow::eventFilter(obj, ev);
    }
    else if(ev->type() == QEvent::TouchBegin || ev->type() == QEvent::TouchUpdate || ev->type() == QEvent::TouchEnd)
    {
        QTouchEvent *tmp_ev = (QTouchEvent*) ev;
        //qDebug() << ev->type() << " : " << ((QTouchEvent*)ev)->touchPoints().last().pos().x() << "  -  " << ((QTouchEvent*)ev)->touchPoints().last().pos().y();
        QList<QTouchEvent::TouchPoint> tmp_touchPoints = tmp_ev->touchPoints();
        for(int i=0; i<tmp_touchPoints.count() ; i++)
        {
            QPointF tmp_pos = tmp_touchPoints[i].pos();
            qreal tmp_v = tmp_pos.x();
            tmp_pos.setX(tmp_pos.y() * 240 / 320);
            tmp_pos.setY(320 - tmp_v * 320 / 240);

            tmp_touchPoints[i].setPos(tmp_pos);
        }


        QTouchEvent *new_ev = new QTouchEvent(tmp_ev->type(), Q_NULLPTR, tmp_ev->modifiers(), tmp_ev->touchPointStates(), tmp_touchPoints);
        ev = (QEvent*) new_ev;
        for(int i=0; i<tmp_touchPoints.count() ; i++)
        {
            //qDebug() << ev->type() << " : " << ((QTouchEvent*)ev)->touchPoints()[i].pos().x() << "  -  " << ((QTouchEvent*)ev)->touchPoints()[i].pos().y();
        }

        return QMainWindow::eventFilter(obj, ev);
    }
    else
        qDebug() << "Event : " << ev->type() ;

    // Make sure the rest of events are handled
    return QMainWindow::eventFilter(obj, ev);
}

So I applied a transformation on all those events, but even if the qDebug() seems to show that all they are well changed, it changes nothing on the screen.... I still have to tap on the bottom left to activate my top left button...

Maybe I'm doing something wrong on the events ? I don't catch the right ones ?
Any idea ?

Thanks

@etiennedm Why don't you just use layouts?
