Hi, not sure to entirely understand the problem,

but a few things to keep in mind:

in the VirtualButton.cpp file, the button coordinates are "reset" with hard-coded values when you call toggleVirtualButton();

So my problem happend when i try to make  same coordinates in VirtualButtons.cpp file and in the XML.

 

before that, i just change coordinates in the XML, and it work but not sensitive.

Hi, can you paste here the lines of code where you set the VB coordinates ?

(just the relevant lines of code that you have modified, not all the sample code...)

Hi, I tested with your original target image and indeed I was able to reproduce your problem (with some of the buttons not working);

Hi,

actually for what concerns the XML target size, I only experience the problem when the size is not big enough, so with something around 52 x 68, it should work also for you (maybe you can increase still a bit more, but I was able to have it already good at 51.8 x 67.7);

sorry, when you change the size of the target, you reupload marker to https://ar.qualcomm.at/projects, or just change the size of the target in the xml file without re-upload it?

Just manually edit the XML, no need to upload again.

Same for virtual button coords, editing the XML is sufficient (but if you also change the .CPP code, then don't forget to ndk-build and refresh in Eclipse).

For virtual buttons coordinates, what I mean is:

you also need to modify the coordinates in the .CPP file, of course, if your application supports "Toggling" buttons on/off (i.e. like in the VirtualButtons sample, where you have Menu Options to toggle buttons on / off);
