How to enable multi touch on click buttons? - unity3d

I couldn't find an answer online. When I hold my phone with my hand, the palm of my hand touches the screen's bottom corner and it prevents/blocks any future clicks on buttons with my fingers on the screen. I need to enable multi-touch for buttons but not sure how to do it. I use buttons and (onClick component) but they don't work when I hold my phone with my palm. I need to tell the app- ignore previous clicks and count only the latest click

It's possible only via IPointerClick and other IPointer...Handler.
Please refer to UnityEngine.EventSystems namespace.

Unity button doesn't behave as it was clicked after a click and drag

There is a simple button in our application which when is pressed works just as expected, but with a light quick touch it just greys out and does nothing.
Is there a way to capture those light touches too?
EDIT:
I see now when exactly it doesn't work and it is when I tap, drag and release. (even if I tap, drag and don't leave the button area)
Try setting EventSystem.pixelDragThreshold to a higher value. This threshold makes the difference between a click and a drag, and it's default value is quite low for high-res touch systems.

Touch feedback during swipe left and right

My app has a master-detail structure, where the user can tap on a master item to go to the detail view and then swipe left or right to navigate to other details items.
I'm using on-swipe-left and on-swipe-right to let users swipe between the detail views, however, when the user swipes, there is no visual feedback that there is a swipe happening. Only after the user has fully swiped does anything happen. I thought I could use the slide box, because the slidebox does provide visual feedback as soon as you start swiping, however, my views have vertical scroll and that conflicts with the left and right swipe actions due to the swipe sensitivity. In other words, when the user touches the screen to begin scrolling down, the swipe action takes over and it tries to swipe left or right instead of scrolling down.
So, what are my options? Is there any way I can provide some kind of an animation with on-swipe-left and on-swipe-right so that there is some kind of visual feedback (may be an ink trail on the screen) I can show the user? Or is there any way I can make the slidebox approach work so that the horizontal swipe and vertical scroll can function harmoniously? I have seen other apps that have scroll and swipe functions working harmoniously--gmail and pinterest are examples. Just not able to get it working with ionic.
Or is there another UI pattern that I am not thinking of? Worst case, I could provide buttons for next and previous, but this is a mobile app, so I really shouldn't have to resort to that.
Thanks!

Using pen to control scrollviewer and disable touch

For a page with a scrollviewer - using the hand gesture allows the user to scroll up and down and across or whatever. Using a pen doesn't do anything.
The requirement is to have a button to reverse the functionality of pen and touch.
If this button is pushed the touch can draw ink strokes on a canvas and the pen cannot. This works.
I'm not entirely sure how to proceed with the situations:
pen to be "gesture" to scroll page instead of touch.
hand to draw ink stroke on a canvas that is within a scrollviewer.
Is there a method or attribute that i can set that makes the pen/hand accept gestures?
thanks.
So I found a suggestion (can't remember where) ... that i should disable the zooming and scrolling. When that was set I called the method to allow for inking. Not entirely sure if that's the correct way of doing it but through various testing...it worked.

rotating buttons

In my IPhone application, I have five buttons with background image set.
At any time one button is active an the other one is inactive.
I want to display the five buttons in 3d style such that the active image is in front and the others are at the back but visible.
When the user clicks the inactive button, it should come to the front and the the other one should go back, with all the buttons rotating like 3d effect.
Can anyone suggest an idea?
Cocos2d might be worth a look, it is very good (and not to hard) to make fancy things like this. http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/
Hope this helps.

Iphone 3d rotation for 2 buttons

In my IPhone application, I have two buttons with background image set.
At any time one button is active an the other one is inactive.
I want to display the two buttons in 3d style such that the active image is in front and the other on is at the back but visible.
When the user clicks the inactive button, it should come to the front and the the other one should go back, with both the buttons rotating like 3d effect.
Can anyone suggest an idea?
Start by studying the Core Animation Programming Guide, with particular interest in the example code given for an animated menu.
