how to handle touch events in IOS/Android

I am working on a web application. As per the requirement i need to create scrolling images effect when user swipe and on touch (or click) i need to move the specific image to some predef开发者_运维问答ined destination.

So some stack of images has two events, on touch move it should scroll left or right and on touch start(click) it should move to some distance.

I am unable to handle both events, i want to fire only touch-move event when user swipe and want touch-start to fire when user touch or click.

But on swiping, touch start event is also firing up. Please advice me the solution.

Even i have tried click event instead of touch start but still i have same issue.

You can look at YUI 3's Scrollview widget at http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/3/scrollview/ Also, YUI 3.2 added touch support.

If you're able to swap out Jquery for something a little smaller and a little more mobile-friendly, Zepto provides a pretty decent alternative. It's not a drop-in replacement for everything Jquery, but it is surprisingly compatible. It provides basic touch events and CSS animations to make modern web development possible on iOS.

If you're looking for a more complete mobile framework, Spine.js and Spine.Mobile.js sit on top of either Jquery or Zepto, and works very nicely for creating single-page-apps using modern JS development techniques.

IScroll4 also does a nice job of hiding the pain of touch events, and makes things like static headers and footers possible, even in older versions of iOS and Android.

UPDATE

jqTouchPunch is a bit of a hack, but works surpisingly well...

Take a look at jQuery Mobile. Although it is in Alpha stage right now they are planning to release the first version in spring 2011.

jQuery Mobile: Touch-Optimized Web Framework for Smartphones & Tablets

A unified user interface system across all popular mobile device platforms, built on the rock-solid jQuery and jQuery UI foundation. Its lightweight code is built with progressive enhancement, and has a flexible, easily themeable design

Touch-optimized layouts & UI widgets

Our aim is to provide tools to build dynamic touch interfaces that will adapt gracefully to a range of device form factors. The system will include both layouts (lists, detail panes, overlays) and a rich set of form controls and UI widgets (toggles, sliders, tabs)
