Make a character jump when user taps the screen of an android device

[Dr_GeoFry]

Hi, I have been trying all sorts of code to make my character jump by tapping the screen. This is for an android device. I have no problems making everything work correctly in Xcode, I just an illogical inability to get things working for android devices.

Thanks in advance

this will manage each touch (up to five fingers depending on the device).
first off all there are 5 situations a Touchphase will face see here : 1251125

so you have to decide when the action should happen , when beginning touch, or …

here is a small example that will run whatever you want when the touch begins and if the touch not over five fingers or the user stopped touching:

   void Update()
    {
        int fingerCount = 0;
        foreach (Touch touch in Input.touches) {
          if (touch.phase == TouchPhase.Began && touch.phase != TouchPhase.Canceled)
    	 {            
             fingerCount++;
             }
        }           
    }
   if (fingerCount > 0)
      {        
        // manage the Vector or Force Manipulation here of the Player Prefab    
      }

Another Example where you manage if it is only 1 finger touching or 2 and so on:

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
    
    public class example : MonoBehaviour {
        void Update() {
            int fingerCount = 0;
            foreach (Touch touch in Input.touches) {
                if (touch.phase != TouchPhase.Ended && touch.phase != TouchPhase.Canceled)
                    fingerCount++;
                
            }
    
            if (fingerCount == 1)
                {
                print("User has " + fingerCount + " finger(s) touching the screen");
            }else if (fingerCount ==2)
          {
             // do another thing if 2 fingers
          }
        }
    }

hope this will help you to start solving your problem.
