LongPressGestureHandler event payload inconsistent between ios/android

I’m trying to implement hold-and-drag interaction like this: user long press on an element, dragger appears under user’s finger if long press active, then user could start moving the dragger by moving fingers.

Code below works fine on iOS, but not on Android. It turns out that the event payload is different for ios and android (android event payload didn’t provide x, y, absoluteX, absoluteY, etc). Not sure if this is the expected behavior.

How to implement this interaction if there’s no absoluteX to use?

handleLongPressGestureEvent = (o) => {
    console.log(o.nativeEvent); // move the element by o.nativeEvent.absoluteX
  } 

 render() {
    return (
        <LongPressGestureHandler
          onGestureEvent={this.handleLongPressGestureEvent}
        >
          <View style={{height: 200, width: 200, backgroundColor: 'green'}} />
        </LongPressGestureHandler>
    );
  }

Event payload for ios

absoluteX: 137.5;
absoluteY: 335.5;
handlerTag: 1;
numberOfPointers: 1;
state: 4;
target: 4;
x: 50;
y: 102;

Event payload for android

handlerTag
: 
1

numberOfPointers 
:
1

state
:
 4

Please be patient. There’s one PR related (adding proper payload’s field) and I believe it is going to be merged soon
