It would be very helpful if you could test the resulting artifacts from this PR and let us know in a comment if this change resolves your issue. Thank you!

Issue Details:

The pointer moved event is not triggered of the PointerGestureRecognizer on Android platform.

Root Cause:

The PointerGestureRecognizer.PointerMoved event was not firing on Android because the TapAndPanGestureDetector.OnTouchEvent() method had an incomplete pattern match that was filtering out Move events.

The gesture detector was only forwarding touch events to the pointer gesture handler for these actions:
- MotionEventActions.Up (finger released)
- MotionEventActions.Down (finger pressed)
- MotionEventActions.Cancel (gesture cancelled)

Missing Elements: MotionEventActions.Move (finger moved while pressed)

Description of Change:

Added MotionEventActions.Move to the pattern, the gesture detector now:
- Captures move events from Android's touch system
- Routes them to _pointerGestureHandler.OnTouch()
- The handler processes them and fires the PointerMoved event.

Tested the behavior in the following platforms:

  • Android
  • Windows
  • iOS
  • Mac

Pull request overview

This PR fixes a bug where PointerGestureRecognizer.PointerMoved events were not firing on Android. The root cause was that the TapAndPanGestureDetector was filtering out MotionEventActions.Move events and not routing them to the PointerGestureHandler.

Changes:

  • Added MotionEventActions.Move to the pattern match in TapAndPanGestureDetector.OnTouchEvent() to route move events to the pointer gesture handler
  • Created comprehensive UI test (Issue33690) with both HostApp page and NUnit test to verify all three pointer events fire correctly

Reviewed changes

Copilot reviewed 3 out of 3 changed files in this pull request and generated no comments.

Issue #33690: PointerGestureRecognizer does not fire off PointerMove event on Android

Description:
The PointerGestureRecognizer.PointerMoved event does not fire on Android platform. On iOS, all pointer events (PointerPressed, PointerMoved, PointerReleased) work correctly, but on Android only PointerPressed and PointerReleased fire - PointerMoved is never triggered.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Create a MAUI app
  2. Add an Image element to the page
  3. Add PointerGestureRecognizer with PointerMoved event handler
  4. Run on iOS → all events fire correctly
  5. Run on Android → PointerMoved does NOT fire

Expected: PointerMoved event should fire on Android when pointer moves, matching iOS behavior

Actual: PointerMoved event never fires on Android

Version: 10.0.20, 10.0.30

Platforms Affected:

  • iOS
  • Android
  • Windows

# Source Approach Test Result Files Changed Notes
PR PR #33889 Add MotionEventActions.Move to pattern match in TapAndPanGestureDetector.OnTouchEvent() to route move events to pointer gesture handler ✅ PASS (Gate) TapAndPanGestureDetector.cs (+1 -1) Original PR - 1 line change, verified by Gate
6 try-fix #6 Process pointer events BEFORE base.OnTouchEvent() to prevent base detector from consuming Move events. Architectural change to event flow. ✅ PASS TapAndPanGestureDetector.cs (+4 -3) Alternative fix: Reorders execution to handle pointer gestures first, then base detector. More robust as pointer events get priority.
7 try-fix #7 Handle Move events at GesturePlatformManager level - route Move events directly to PointerGestureHandler.OnTouch() in OnTouchEvent() BEFORE passing to TapAndPanGestureDetector. ✅ PASS GesturePlatformManager.Android.cs (+10 -1) Different layer fix: Handles at manager level instead of detector level. Better separation of concerns - gesture detection vs pointer tracking.
8 try-fix #8 Synthesize PointerMoved from PointerDown/PointerUp/ButtonPress/ButtonRelease during active press in PointerGestureHandler.OnTouch() ❌ FAIL PointerGestureHandler.cs (+14) Does not help for single-finger drag; those actions aren’t emitted during drag so moved still 0.
9 try-fix #9 Centralize pointer dispatch in GesturePlatformManager (route Down/Move/Up/Cancel at manager, remove from detector) ✅ PASS TapAndPanGestureDetector.cs, GesturePlatformManager.Android.cs Pointer events routed at manager entry; Move delivered reliably
10 try-fix #10 Unfiltered Pointer Dispatch ✅ PASS TapAndPanGestureDetector.cs Removed explicit action whitelist in detector; delegates filtering to PointerGestureHandler. Safe and future-proof.
11 try-fix #11 Direct Touch Event Subscription - Subscribe PointerGestureHandler to View.Touch event, bypassing GestureDetector pipeline entirely ✅ PASS PointerGestureHandler.cs (+18 -3), TapAndPanGestureDetector.cs (+1 -4) NEW IDEA from cross-pollination: Uses Touch event subscription instead of GestureDetector routing. Most architecturally sound - fixes root cause (GesturePlatformManager doesn't subscribe when only PointerGestures present). Clean, minimal, follows .NET event patterns.
12 try-fix #12 Active touch tracking at detector level: always forward Down and (while active) Move, plus Up/Cancel to PointerGestureHandler even if base detector consumes event ✅ PASS TapAndPanGestureDetector.cs Forwards Move reliably during active press even when GestureDetector consumes events. Simple bool tracking; no pointerId.

Exhausted: Yes (3 rounds of cross-pollination completed, 3/5 models say NO NEW IDEAS)

Cross-Pollination Results:

Model Round 2 Response Round 3 Response
claude-sonnet-4.5 NEW IDEA: Separate touch event path (implemented as #11) NO NEW IDEAS
claude-opus-4.5 NO NEW IDEAS NO NEW IDEAS
gpt-5.2 NEW IDEA: Pointer capture/tracking (implemented as #12) NEW IDEA: Per-pointer state machine (variation of #12)
gpt-5.2-codex NO NEW IDEAS NO NEW IDEAS
gemini-3-pro-preview NEW IDEA: Debouncing (doesn't solve bug) NEW IDEA: InputTransparent (doesn't solve bug)

Selected Fix: PR's fix (Add MotionEventActions.Move to pattern match)

Reasoning:
While 6 different passing fixes were found through try-fix exploration, the PR's original fix is the best choice:

  1. Simplest solution - Literally 1 character change: adding Move to an existing pattern match
  2. Minimal diff - Only touches 1 file, changes 1 line (+1/-1)
  3. Lowest complexity - No architectural changes, no new state tracking, no event subscription management
  4. Matches codebase patterns - Consistent with existing Down/Up/Cancel pattern in same method
  5. Safest for backport - Trivial change minimizes risk for stable branches
  6. No performance impact - All alternatives add extra event handling, dispatching, or state tracking

Alternative fixes analysis:

Root Cause:
The TapAndPanGestureDetector.OnTouchEvent() method had an incomplete pattern match filtering out MotionEventActions.Move events, preventing them from being routed to PointerGestureHandler.OnTouch(). The pattern only included Up, Down, and Cancel.

Key Learning from try-fix #11:
Attempt #11 discovered that GesturePlatformManager (lines 200-216) has optimization logic that intentionally does NOT subscribe to touch events when ONLY PointerGestureRecognizers are present. This is a deeper architectural issue that explains WHY the missing Move in TapAndPanGestureDetector caused such complete failure - but fixing this optimization would be a much larger change suitable for a separate PR.

Thank you!

### Issue Details:

The pointer moved event is not triggered of the PointerGestureRecognizer
on Android platform.
        
### Root Cause:

The PointerGestureRecognizer.PointerMoved event was not firing on
Android because the TapAndPanGestureDetector.OnTouchEvent() method had
an incomplete pattern match that was filtering out Move events.
 
The gesture detector was only forwarding touch events to the pointer
gesture handler for these actions:
     - MotionEventActions.Up (finger released)
     - MotionEventActions.Down (finger pressed)
     - MotionEventActions.Cancel (gesture cancelled)
 
Missing Elements: MotionEventActions.Move (finger moved while pressed)

### Description of Change:

Added MotionEventActions.Move to the pattern, the gesture detector now:
     - Captures move events from Android's touch system
     - Routes them to _pointerGestureHandler.OnTouch()
     - The handler processes them and fires the PointerMoved event.

**Tested the behavior in the following platforms:**

- [x] Android
- [x] Windows
- [x] iOS
- [x] Mac

### Reference:

N/A

### Issues Fixed:

Fixes  #33690
