That's definitely a good idea) Would you like to bring this behavior?

Hi everyone!
Can I work on this issue?

[pictos]

Since the author didn't say anything about it, I think that you can do it @felipebaltazar, can you add a little spec in this issue before you start to implement? Thanks in advance.

Also please think about how we can implement this maybe more generic and also support other gestures that are available instead of focusing in just this one

Have a look at this thread on the Maui repo: https://github.com/dotnet/maui/discussions/107

The author of the MR Gestures library was willing to contribute it to Maui, but the toolkit might be a better home for it.

I have used MR Gestures before because I needed pinch gestures on a Skiasharp canvas, and it worked great.

Would be great if we can have mr gestures on the team. All of my apps use it 😄

FYI

I am working on moving TouchEffect here
LongPress would be supported by it

But I don't mind your try

@MichaelRumpler would you be interested in merging your gesture library to the XamarinCommunityToolkit :) ?

IMHO the biggest downside of MR.Gestures is, that you have to use its own elements. I.e. MR.Gestures.Label instead of Xamarin.Forms.Label. The only way to change that is to add all the events and properties to Xamarin.Forms.Element directly. The Community Toolkit cannot do that.

I also need to overwrite some methods in the native renderers to hook everything up and to clean up when the view is not used anymore. So I cannot use attached properties either.

I was thinking to try extends DragNDrop gesture, thats already intercepts LongPress, for this...
So, we can use like any other gesture
