Android - Drag & Drop support

Post by **kirans** » Mon Jun 29, 2020 9:58 am

We have device that is Android 6 API 23 and drag and drop of events is not working (See GIF). What is the minimum Android supported? If Android 6 is supported, please suggest a solution.

You need to press and hold for a bit before drag is allowed, to avoid unintended drag when scrolling

I've checked again 2 different devices with Android 6. Press and hold up to 5 / 10 seconds still does not allow moving. On fairly recent such as Samsung S9 (Android 8) it seems to allow seamless drag drop.

Hi!

Please check which browser versions are used on the devices.
This might be the reason if old browser is there.

In this Android 6 device, its a standard webview. Does Scheduler have a minimum requirement for Android Webview? Or any specific browser feature requirement for touch / drag to work?

We have not yet done extensive testing on Android devices specifically to be honest. But as Android 6 is not even supported by Google anymore it won't make sense for us to target it.

Android 6.0 Marshmallow was recently discontinued and Google is no longer updating it with security patches.

In our field, there are quite a few customers who do not want to move from certain Older Android OSes because they were very stable and were hardened. We have not released our product so we have way to draw a line. We are trying to set a line so we exclude least number of customers. In addition, we would like limit questions to you so that we avoid "Old OS/Browser/Not supported" topics.

We are still looking for what browser features/support does Scheduler UI depend on for touch drag features? This will help us draw boundaries on our product's limitations.

Hi, kirans!

We have module bundle targeted to support Chrome 61 or above and umd bundle which targeted to IE 11 and later.

So may be you could provide us some more info on what was used to build your app?
Also some sources are welcome for Android app so we could build/test it (with your instructions)?
