Disable long press gesture on map

[feelingsonice]

New Feature

There's no way to disable long press gestures on a map. And a long press gesture is not apart of the set of gestures you can control

Why

This is intrusive because once a long press gesture registers, it pauses all the other gestures. The user should be able to control this behavior.

Hi @feelingsonice, thank you for the report.

Can you please clarify what's your use, and what code you have?

[feelingsonice]

@persidskiy The long press gesture is intrusive. Once it registers, it disables other gestures until it’s released. More specifically, I need to implement my own gesture on a MapViewAnnoyation but it takes precedence over my implementation and I can’t override it. I’m sure having a gesture you can’t disable isn’t ideal.

Hi @persidskiy, upon further investigation, I realize that the long press gesture isn't the only gesture that can't be turned off? i.e. If my viewport is in FollowPuckViewportState and I set map gesture options to false:

GestureOptions(
            panEnabled: false,
            pinchEnabled: false,
            rotateEnabled: false,
            simultaneousRotateAndPinchZoomEnabled: false,
            pinchZoomEnabled: false,
            pinchPanEnabled: false,
            pitchEnabled: false,
            doubleTapToZoomInEnabled: false,
            doubleTouchToZoomOutEnabled: false,
            quickZoomEnabled: false
        )

touching the map still takes me out of the FollowPuckViewportState into idle? Is there way to prevent this? Basically a way to completely disable user input?

@feelingsonice Thank you for providing more information. Can you also specify which actual use-case you are trying to solve? Potentially, we can use it for testing.

Hey @persidskiy, sorry I missed your message. The intuition for what I'm trying is solve is something like this:

On some occasions, I want to fix the map view and completely disable user gesture on the map so that the user can't pan/rotate/pinch away from it. An imaginary scenario would be when the user is looking at an annotation on the map and needs to explicitly dismiss something first. In this case, without disabling the map gestures, the user can simply pan away.

Does this make sense? I could elaborate further if that's helpful. Not sure if others have ever requested a feature like this but it's extremely important for me. I appreciate the help here :)
