[TIMOB-955] WebView + addEventListener('swipe', ...) disables scrolling

Forgot:

This affects the mobile sdk on ipad.
Testet with 1.2.x and 1.3.0.

Workaround:

You could use custom webview url handler events instead.

Detect the swipe in your page's JavaScript and then fire an event on the webView instance from the page.
Even works from external sites!

   webView.addEventListener('my-swipe', handleSwipe)
   

And then in the page…

   window.location = "app-my-swipe://?_" + +new Date;
   

And it'll fire your 'my-swipe' event in your Titanium context.

ug… broken formatting :/

May not be able to support this, because if you intercept swipes on a webview, they stop working.

This is happening, not only with the swipe event, but with any touch events. Example:

     var win = Titanium.UI.createWindow();
       var web =  Titanium.UI.createWebView({url: 'some.pdf'});
       var view = Ti.UI.createView({});
       view.add(web);
       win.add(view);
       win.open({modal:true});
   
       web.addEventListener('click', function(e){
           alert('click');
       });
   
       /*
       view.addEventListener('click', function(e){
           alert('click');
       });
       */
       /*
       win.addEventListener('click', function(e){
           alert('click');
       });
       */
