React-native: PanResponder blocks touchables on android devices

[Elf2707]

Description

PanResponder blocks TouchableHighlight and TochableOpacity if they are inside of responding View.
No mere what this functions return true or false:
onStartShouldSetPanResponderCapture: (evt, gestureState) => true,
onMoveShouldSetPanResponderCapture: (evt, gestureState) => true,

On GenyMotion Simulator all works great, set capture funtions to return false and we are good, but on nexus 6 and noname Android 4.4 device Touchables are not responding.

Solution

if we have
onStartShouldSetPanResponderCapture: (evt, gestureState) => false,
onMoveShouldSetPanResponderCapture: (evt, gestureState) => false,
inside touchables should respond to presses.

else
onStartShouldSetPanResponderCapture: (evt, gestureState) => true,
onMoveShouldSetPanResponderCapture: (evt, gestureState) => true,
shouldn't.

Additional Information

• React Native version: 0.38
• Platform: Android maybe on iOS too didn't check this.
• Operating System: Windows

It does not seem to work

      this.typePanRep = PanResponder.create({
          onStartShouldSetPanResponder: (evt, gestureState) => false,
          onStartShouldSetPanResponderCapture: (evt, gestureState) => false,
          onMoveShouldSetPanResponder: (evt, gestureState) => true,
          onMoveShouldSetPanResponderCapture: (evt, gestureState) => false,
          onPanResponderMove: (evt, gestureState) => {
          },
      })

<ListView
ref={listView => this._typelistView = listView}
dataSource={ds.cloneWithRowsAndSections(this.state.typeList)}
renderRow={this._renderTypeRowView.bind(this)}
{...this.typePanRep.panHandlers}
/>

PanResponder blocks the touches inside ListView in same models of android , and only sometimes.

i have the same problem :(
any ideas to fix it?

Replacing onPress with onPressIn at the TochableOpacity-Component solved the issue for me.

OnPressIn does the trick but in my case it triggers a swipe at the same time.

I have the same issue and I have asked the question on stackoverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44653138/panresponder-could-not-detect-touch-if-i-touch-on-touchablestouchablehighlight
I have tried onPressIn but it does not work as expected. Sometimes it swipes while pressing
Any idea how to fix it?

Post a relevant snippet and I'll try to lend a hand @pie6k - just got around this issue myself by basically switching around the component order in render.

I just adjusted my "pan handle" component to be last in the stack, and within that I've placed a TouchableWithoutFeedback which receives onPress events (_on-top_ of the panResponder).
