Inherited From:

enableTouchActivity()
component.js, line 1355

This function reports user activity whenever touch events happen. This can get turned off by any sub-components that wants touch events to act another way.

Report user touch activity when touch events occur. User activity gets used to determine when controls should show/hide. It is simple when it comes to mouse events, because any mouse event should show the controls. So we capture mouse events that bubble up to the player and report activity when that happens. With touch events it isn't as easy as touchstart and touchend toggle player controls. So touch events can't help us at the player level either.

User activity gets checked asynchronously. So what could happen is a tap event on the video turns the controls off. Then the touchend event bubbles up to the player. Which, if it reported user activity, would turn the controls right back on. We also don't want to completely block touch events from bubbling up. Furthermore a touchmove event and anything other than a tap, should not turn controls back on.

Listens to Events:
  • Component#event:touchstart
  • Component#event:touchmove
  • Component#event:touchend
  • Component#event:touchcancel

Add an event listener to this Components element.

The benefit of using this over the following:

  • VjsEvents.on(otherElement, 'eventName', myFunc)

  • otherComponent.on('eventName', myFunc)

  • Is that the listeners will get cleaned up when either component gets disposed.

  • It will also bind myComponent as the context of myFunc.

    NOTE: If you remove the element from the DOM that has used on you need to

     clean up references using: `myComponent.trigger(el, 'dispose')`
 This will also allow the browser to garbage collect it. In special
 cases such as with `window` and `document`, which are both permanent,
 this is not necessary.
