Because it is on a touchscreen device, where touch behavior is different to mouse behavoir, there is a different set of functions to use rather than `mousePressed()`, `mouseReleased()` and `mouseMoved().`

Namedly they are:  
`touchStarted()`  
`touchEnded()`  
`touchMoved()`

Also the `mousePressed` (`mouseIsPressed` in p5) is `touchIsStarted`.

It is documented [here](https://android.processing.org/reference/multitouch/events.html).
