Is there any official post or guide on how to control XBMC by touch? Are there gestures defined for XBMC android?

Basic operations are quite trivial, but what about other functions which are usually controlled by the keyboard as:
* Hiding/showing media information ('i" key while media is playing)
* Hiding/showing stream information ("o" key while playing)
* Fullscreen ("tab")
* Show playlist ("n" key)
* Stop/exit ("x" key)
...more

If it is not yet in the future workplan I think XBMC for android should take advantage of gestures. Maybe the dev/devs in charge can open a post to help him/her with gestures proposals.

Its up to you - they are mappable now:

Though keep in mind that XBMC is not really aimed at touch screens. While we try to keep it working - its nowhere near as a priority goal. All thos touch platforms came in "by accident" when we tried to port over to setop boxed (like atv2 - ios touchdevices came in, android settop boxes - android touchdevices came in).

Great! I'll play with it.
Are those all the defined tags? (Or do you have a complete list with descriptions?)
Where can I take a look at all the android functions like SwipeLeft or ZoomGesture?(just the list, not their implementation)
What about more complex gestures than swipes? (Like circling clockwise or counterclockwise)
Also, were is the touchscreen.xml file supposed to be? I looked under Android\data\org.xbmc.xbmc\files\.xbmc\system but it is an empty folder

It's an empty page right now, but eventually there will be something here: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Touch_controls

(I knew I forgot something)
