Scrolling by dragging and flinging on Android might be nice #44

Closed rohkea closed 5 years ago

rohkea commented 5 years ago

On Android, there is no mouse wheel, so scrolling is less comfortable than on desktop.

It might make sense to implement the default Android behaviour for scrolling:

I don’t know if these are useful only on Android, I think desktop PCs with touchscreens could benefit from them as well.

This'll probably mess up the implementation of any drag-based element that could end up in the UI tree, unfortunately, but this might be reasonable to implement on scrollbars.

Most Android apps use long taps to activate dragging things.

Most Android apps use long taps to activate dragging things.

I think that’s for dragging one thing, right? So basically it’s a selection of a thing to act on, isn’t it? (I’ve seen it used for opening menus, too, e.g. in Discord app and Orgzly.)

I was talking about dragging the whole contents to scroll it, not about dragging a single element. (I don’t think R48 has any single elements to drag around anyway?)

Last I checked, long taps (more like holds really) activate selection/action stuff, while this refers to the "swipe up to quickly go down a list with 'momentum'" vs. "slowly drag to slowly go down a list". rohkea's suggestion is well in line with the standards, it's just problematic for R48.

...for lack of a better solution I'm just going to close this as won't-fix... sorry.
