Hi @arturoc ,

We made allot of changes to ofxGestures, in the spirit of your PR. The latest version is on more_gestures branch. It’s global, contains your interface changes, and has more gestures - tap and long press.

We did run into problem with touch event registrations.

The of core events is not global and it’s part of the window. If that window is destroyed and recreated, we lose the touch events. Also, on scenarios with other view controllers (iOS) or activities (Android) besides the OFActivity, ofxGestures’s state becomes dirty and we need to reset the current touches map when the ofApp starts running again. We found no way (event) to know when the message loop starts or stops, we also found no way to know when there’s a new app running and we need to reregister touch events.

Regarding the registration when there’s a new ofApp, sure, we can resolve it by putting a line in the setup of the ofApp that tells ofxGestures to reregister, but it hurts the seamlessness of the solution. Regarding the foreground/background issue, we resolved it with a way completely external to OF (we have our own cross platform way of knowing when the current activity is foreground/background), but it makes the solution incomplete. Any thoughts?
