What changed

Root cause of the "click does nothing" report after #511: the arrival/reannounce protocol was aligned with the verified HarmonyOS implementation, but the click trigger was not. #503's ScreenDs5PressureClickDetector requires a pressure rise / contact-size growth / deep-press classification; on most Android touchscreens pressure is constant at 1.0 and contact size is constant, so the detector never fires and TOUCHPAD_FLAG is never sent.

  • adds tap-to-click as the primary trigger, mirroring the verified HarmonyOS handler: single-finger lift within 250 ms and 24 dp of the press point presses the clickpad and auto-releases after 50 ms (ScreenDs5TapClickDetector, pure logic + tests)
  • keeps the firm-press detector as a supplementary trigger for devices reporting real pressure/deep-press; a gesture that already firm-pressed never double-fires a tap click
  • the clickpad button state is owned by one press/release pair shared by both triggers, so pending auto-releases cannot stack across gestures
  • the bare virtual DS5 declaration now advertises a standard gamepad button set (STANDARD_GAMEPAD_BUTTON_FLAGS | TOUCHPAD_FLAG, same as the HarmonyOS client) — previously it carried only the touchpad flag, so hosts created a DualSense with no face buttons
  • hint/summary strings now say tap-to-click

Validation

  • ScreenDs5TapClickDetectorTest (7), ScreenDs5PressureClickDetectorTest (5), ScreenDs5ControllerPolicyTest (3) all pass; compileNonRootDebugKotlin builds
  • needs on-device verification against a Foundation Sunshine host

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added tap-to-click support for the on-screen DualSense touchpad.
    • Preserved firm-press clicking and improved transitions between tap and pressure clicks.
    • Advertised standard gamepad buttons for the on-screen DualSense controller.
    • Improved handling of canceled touches to prevent unintended clicks.
  • Documentation

    • Updated touchpad descriptions to explain tap-to-click and firm-press behavior.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for taps, slow releases, movement, multi-finger gestures, cancellation, and gesture resets.

Tap-to-click is now the primary click trigger, mirroring the verified
HarmonyOS implementation: a single-finger lift within 250ms and 24dp of
the press point presses the clickpad and auto-releases after 50ms. The
firm-press detector (pressure / contact size / deep-press) stays as a
supplementary trigger for devices that report real pressure, and a
gesture that already firm-pressed never double-fires a tap click.

The clickpad button state is now owned by a single press/release pair
shared by both triggers, so pending auto-releases cannot stack across
gestures.

Also advertise a standard gamepad button set on the bare virtual DS5
declaration — previously it carried only the touchpad flag, so hosts
created a DualSense with no face buttons.

Walkthrough

Changes

DualSense screen touchpad input now supports tap clicks alongside pressure clicks. The implementation validates single-finger taps, coordinates tap and pressure transitions, schedules release, updates controller metadata, and revises English and Chinese descriptions.

DualSense touchpad click handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Tap gesture detection
app/src/main/java/com/limelight/binding/input/touchpad/ScreenDs5TapClickDetector.kt, app/src/test/java/com/limelight/binding/input/touchpad/ScreenDs5TapClickDetectorTest.kt
The detector accepts quick, stationary single-finger taps and rejects slow lifts, movement, additional fingers, cancellation, and stale releases.
Touchpad click integration
app/src/main/java/com/limelight/TouchInputHandler.kt
TouchInputHandler combines tap and pressure detection, manages pressed state and haptic feedback, and releases tap clicks after 50 ms.
Controller metadata and touchpad text
app/src/main/java/com/limelight/binding/input/ControllerHandler.kt, app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml, app/src/main/res/values-zh-rCN/strings.xml
Screen DS5 metadata advertises standard gamepad buttons, analog triggers, and rumble. English and Chinese strings describe tap and firm-press clicking.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d1882

The PR adds tap-to-click support and standard DualSense button capabilities for the virtual controller. It is mergeable with explicit owner awareness that the metadata may expose unsupported DualSense capabilities on some physical-controller paths, which could cause compatibility issues for those controllers.

Comment thread app/src/main/java/com/limelight/TouchInputHandler.kt
Aligns the bare screen-DS5 declaration's capabilities with the verified
HarmonyOS client (LI_CCAP_ANALOG_TRIGGERS | LI_CCAP_RUMBLE | TOUCHPAD).
Sunshine currently gates only on TOUCHPAD/ACCEL/GYRO/RGB_LED, so this is
forward-proofing rather than a behavior fix.

Comment thread app/src/main/java/com/limelight/binding/input/ControllerHandler.kt
getLiTouchTypeFromEvent() already maps ACTION_UP carrying
MotionEvent.FLAG_CANCELED to a cancel touch event, but the tap-click
state machine still evaluated the lift as a tap, so a system-canceled
final touch (palm rejection, gesture takeover) could fire a remote
click. Mirror the ACTION_CANCEL handling before tap evaluation.
