Description

Description

I have a my page like this :

{children}

Sometimes while user scrolls /swipes to. go back. the click event gets triggered( navigating to a screen)

I read few issues , the only solution i got so far is to track the scroll with handlePressIn & handlePressOut , then calculate the pageX,pageY difference do decide whether its a drag or click action.

Adding this affects my scroll performance , (large list of products).

Any solution to this, without compromising the app performance?
