Back-Swipe Gesture Also Triggers Tap
When planning a route in the app, performing the back-swipe gesture in the upper part of the screen executes the back action as expected, but at the same time it is also interpreted as a single tap. As a result, a marker is placed on the map immediately after the back navigation.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the app and plan a route.
2. Perform the back-swipe gesture in the upper part of the screen.
3. The app navigates back and places a marker on the map.
Expected behavior:
The back-swipe gesture should only navigate back and should not trigger a tap/marker placement.
- Where does this happen?
- ABRP version number (found at bottom of settings menu)

Yes when a back swipe is done, it drops a marker where the swipe finishes. No other app that i have used interprets it as a tap.

Hi
According to my colleague who has an Android phone this is a setting you can change on your phone. So this is not anything that will be changed on our side.

Hi,
thank you for your reply. I don’t think this issue is only related to Android system settings, since the back-swipe gesture is correctly executed (the navigation back works), but in addition the ABRP app also registers it as a tap and sets a marker on the map. This behavior is specific to the app and does not happen in other apps with the same gesture.
Could you please forward this to your development team to verify?
Thanks a lot!

Hi
We have discussed this again and we will see if we can do a change.

It would be super helpful to know which setting your colleague thinks should be changed (and the value to change it to as well if it isn’t obvious).

Swipe actions. I guess it can have a different name on different phones.
