enabling feedback for your application</title><p>If you need to disable tactile

feedback for any reason (and then possibly re-enable it later), use the function <xref href="jar:GUID-759FBC7F-5384-4487-8457-A8D4B76F6AA6.jar!/html/classMTouchFeedback.html#68dc5cb09c94b8c42e50e2043249b4c4" format="application/java-archive"><codeph>SetFeedbackEnabledForThisApp</codeph></xref>. </p><p>You can also use an <xref href="jar:GUID-759FBC7F-5384-4487-8457-A8D4B76F6AA6.jar!/html/classMTouchFeedback.html#f79365f3d12d54496715be253759dec6" format="application/java-archive">overloaded version</xref> of the function for disabling only audio or vibration

based feedback.</p><p>Feedback may need to be disabled for example during

video recording in camera applications, because otherwise device vibration

sounds may be recorded along the video clip.</p><note><p>You can and are recommended

to use the API normally for area registry updates even when feedback is disabled.

This way feedback can be turned on successfully even if there was a layout

or view change while feedback was disabled. </p><p>The only exceptions to

this are those applications which will never enable the feedback again (for

example, in some games you might do this if you don’t want feedback, or use

the device vibration for effects in your game).</p></note><p>Any application

can only disable the feedback for itself, which means this API provides no

means for globally disabling feedback. </p><p>The user can still disable all

the feedback by changing device feedback settings. Moreover, feedback can

be globally disabled by the feedback system for e.g. during ongoing telephone

calls (this depends on the device configuration).</p></section>
