Android Chart Scroll

[Mark Hatton]

In our app we have an SfChart contained in a scroll view with only vertical scrolling.

We have horizontal (X) panning enabled on the chart. 

On iOS, the chart fully consumes swipe gestures with no cascading to other views. To scroll the scroll view vertically you have to make sure the swipe begins outside of the SfChart in order for the gesture to be recognized

On Android, the chart appears to cascade the gestures and the result is that when a user attempts to pan the graph, if they move their finger slightly in the Y direction then the whole view scrolls vertically - the scroll view is consuming the gesture which makes it very difficult to pan the SfChart content in the X axis; you have to ensure your finger moves only in X

Is there a way of ensuring the Android chart acts consistently with the iOS chart?

Is there a solution to the Android issue other than moving the SfChart outside the scroll view?

Thanks

Hi Mark,

Thanks for using syncfusion products,

We would like to let you know that we can change the Android behavior as like iOS in our upcoming service pack release. As of now you can prevent the scrolling of ScrollViewer when using zoom or pan in the Chart by adding the following code in constructor of Android project MainActivity.cs file,
[C#]

Xamarin.Forms.Forms.ViewInitialized += (sender, e) =>

{

if (!(e.NativeView is SfChart)) return;

(e.NativeView as SfChart).Touch += (obj, args) =>

((SfChart) obj).RequestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);

};

We have also prepared the sample for your reference, please find the sample from the following location,

Please let us know if you require further assistance on this.

Thanks,

Thanks Yuvaraj,

That works nicely - just a minor correction for other readers: Make sure you insert 'parent' into the code fragment listed:

((SfChart) obj).Parent.RequestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);

We've just noticed another problem with our app not receiving double taps on some Android devices. The good news is that you can use the sample you link to below (Sample: http://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/forum/119182/Scroll_Chart-628208838.zip ) to reproduce this:

Install the sample on a Hudl  and double tap on the chart doesn't work at all (no zoom toggle)

On a Nexus 4 / MotoG it works sometimes but is unreliable

On a Nexus 5 it works pretty much flawlessly

We've only seen this issue on Android. On iOS it all seems to work as advertised.

Any ideas?
