I needed to simulate touch screen device on Raspberry, and there are some issues installing the driver. So, as a workaround, I'm using Chromium for that purpose with --simulate-touch-screen-with-mouse flag:
chromium --simulate-touch-screen-with-mouse http://my-site.com
It perfectly simulates scrolling, but clicks are not working in the page. How can I make the clicks (and right clicks) work?
Chromium version is 22.
The problem is Chrome/Chromium needs to be set up to use touch devices - their are a varying set of solutions over on AskUbuntu:
Run chrome with options to use the touch device:
Run it with:
google-chrome --touch-devices=10
Where 10 is the ID of the touchscreen (possibly noted by ``) in xinput list
Other available helpful options are --touch-events=enabled & --enable-pinch - more options are available here. You may not need to modify the command line arguments directly if you add export CHROMIUM_USER_FLAGS="--touch-devices=10" to your ~/.profile.
Enable a flag:
Navigate to chrome://flags/#touch-events and set it to enabled
This may not be needed in newer Chrome versions, but these are probably unavailable on the Pi: How can I install the latest version of Chromium?
