Java programming for touch screen PC

Posted 26 August 2009 - 11:02 PM

Hi all,

I about to start this project to develop a touchscreen Retail store application which would be installed on desktop systems with touch screen displays. I programm with Java.

I need to know how to deploy this.....

- is there a seperate java API for implementing the touch screen feature?
- Which displays/monitors or OS support touch screen?
- Or can I use any monitor, if so, is their a driver for enabling touch screen behaviour of any PC monitor?

I need answers pleasseeeeee ....

Is This A Good Question/Topic? 0

There is no special API in Java for touch screen once you install the required driver for the screen to work on your system, you could basically use your screen just as you use your mouse on any program.

The same Java program that is operated through mouse events and has action listeners etc... would directly work the same way in the presence of a touch screen.

Just create your Java program, plug in your touch screen instead of the ordinary screen and it will work just fine, good luck :)
