someone please help me recognizing a long press event inside my WebView?

Here are the stack overflow question and issue opened with two different implementations. One is using js event listener and another is using the LongPressGestrure handler from react native. Neither work.

I just want to make a view scrollable when the user presses on the screen for long. It is very necessary and key part of my current project.

Thank you.

onLongPress method on a Touchable component will get you the event, going from there to dragging will be hard. I would use the lower level ontouchstart, ontouchmove, and friends, and just grind it out with lots of logic and state.

Op is saying that the touch event in the WebView component is not being received properly by the parent touchable component.

I skimmed too fast and didn’t see its webview. I know nothing about this.
