swipeend is rarely working on Android about jquery-touch-events

Thank you, I will look into the issue. Out of interest, have you tried playing around with the threshold settings?

Yes, we tried many different values, I think the main issue is that it is too responsive when we don't want it to be, and not responsive enough when we want it to be, haha. For instance, just trying to scroll down vertically through multiple horizontal scrollable areas, the slightest X movement is captured when you really don't want it to be. We like the threshold you provided, but we were trying to construct a reverse threshold, for when scrolling vertically, to stop the horizontal movement, but it didn't work well enough, so for now we have fallen back to using TouchSwipe for simple gestures to fire events rather than full touch control.

Eventually it would be great to have that kind of native app touch control, but with having to deal with IE and Firefox fallbacks, we've decided it's not worth it yet. Thanks so much for your efforts! I hope you continue to improve the plug in, it's really the closest thing to the ideal that we've seen for webkit, we would definitely use it in a simpler site.

Thank you!

OK, thanks for the detailed information. I will look into the issue a little more on Android when I get my hands on the new S4 (in a week or so). I will be sure to update you.

I'm working away on the 1.1 release of the library, which will hopefully add more support as you've described. Unfortunately, dealing with scrolling and swiping are tricky, since you don't know the user's intent. I'll investigate though.

Yes, threshold was adjusted with no improvement.
I was testing on the following Android devices:

• Nexus 7 w/chrome
• S2 w/default browser
• S3 w/default browser & chrome

all of them had identical results with the swipeend event. I'd be happy to test on those devices if there are updates.

Thanks!

OK, thanks. I will look into this.

I believe that this should now be fixed with the latest merge from spardin's pull.
