Flickable.pressDelay does not work on Android Mobile but works on Desktop [with small code example to reproduce]

[werto87]

Hi, i am developing an application with multi selection drag and drop.

desired behavior:

• select items for draging by tapping on the items
• flicking by preform the flicking scrolling gesture
• start with dragging after the user preforms presses on an item (i use ListView.pressDelay: 300 for this)

This works for Desktop but on my Android mobile the dragging does not start if i set ListView.pressDelay: to 300.
If I set ListView.pressDelay: to 30 its the same as if I set a value to ListView.pressDelay 300.
If I set ListView.pressDelay: to 3. Dragging starts when i try to flick.

Note: I get this Log message on my android mobile after trying to drag with ListView.pressDelay: to 300

code is on github: "https://github.com/werto87/qt_projects" branch: "list_view_model_cxx"

short example for reproducing:

import QtQuick.Layouts 1.14
import QtQml.Models 2.14

ApplicationWindow {
id: root
visible: true

title: qsTr("Hello World")

ColumnLayout {
    anchors.fill: parent
    ListView {
        spacing: 5
        pressDelay: 300
        id: listView
        Layout.fillHeight: true
        Layout.fillWidth: true
        model: model
        delegate: AbstractButton {
            width: root.width
            height: 75
            id: delegate
            background: Rectangle {
                color: "#9dbad5"
            }
        }
    }
}
Rectangle {
    //should be moveable pressDelay: 300
    visible: dragHandler.active
    id: rectangleToMove
    Drag.active: dragHandler.active
    width: 100
    height: 100
    color: "brown"
}

DragHandler {
    id: dragHandler
    xAxis.enabled: false
    target: rectangleToMove
    Drag.onDragStarted: {
        console.log("starting drag")
    }
}

ListModel {
    //just a model with some elements
    id: model
    ListElement {}
    ListElement {}
    ListElement {}
    ListElement {}
    ListElement {}
    ListElement {}
    ListElement {}
    ListElement {}
    ListElement {}
    ListElement {}
    ListElement {}
    ListElement {}
}

}

edit: added example for easy reproducing
edit2: added log message

This might be related to mouse messages in Android having been broken in some Qt 5.12 version and not (AFIK) fixed since. You could verify this with Qt 5.11.3 and after that perhaps figure out a workaround.

Thank you mvuori, i will try it out.

• Setting the Qt Version to .11 is no solution for me because i want to use DragHandler (DragHandler is from Qt 5.12 i think?).
• Installing qt 5.14 did not help.
• getting arm version 8 did not help

I noticed a log when trying to drag and drop on android:

W MY_APP_NAME_armeabi-v7a.so: QMetaObject::invokeMethod: No such method QQuickContentItem::inputMethodQuery(Qt::InputMethodQuery,QVariant)

I will try to get version 8

edit: getting version 8 did not help
