Description

Version

Which versions are you using:

  • react-native-swiper v1.6.0
  • react-native v0.65.1
Actual behaviour

In Android the swiper is much less sensitive than in iOS.
If I scroll in iOS only a few millimeters with normal swipe speed, the index changes.
If I scroll in Android a few millimeters with normal swipe speed, the index does not change.

Because of that the swiping in iOS feels great, but in Android it feels a bit buggy.
You have to swipe a longer distance or with more speed, that the index changes.

Expected behaviour

I would like to set "minimumDistance" for swipe or increase the swipe sensitivity under Android.

I also would be happy with a patch-package solution :) I tried it, but didn't find any solution...

Research direction

Start by locating the Android and iOS swipe handling in react-native-swiper v1.6.0 and compare how the minimum swipe distance or sensitivity is determined. Implement a way to configure minimumDistance or improve Android sensitivity, then verify that short normal-speed swipes behave consistently on both platforms.
