Samsung hovering API with finger
I've tried out the method described on the link recommended by Nifhel.The only thing you have to do is adding a new intent filter for your Activity in the manifest, no need to override "dispatchGenericMotionEvent":
<intent-filter> <action android:name="com.sec.android.airview.HOVER" /></intent-filter>After that you have to add an onHoverListener to you View and it will work fine.For example in my ListAdapter:
convertView.setOnHoverListener(new OnHoverListener() { @Override public boolean onHover(View v, MotionEvent event) { Log.d("ListAdapter", "Hover: " + item); return false; }});
Try ApiDemos in latest version of sdk android-17 (4.2.2) -> Views -> Hover.class. It can give you a heads up on Hover event.
