Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Carousel is scrollable when PDF is zoomed in.

What is the root cause of that problem?

We have a shared value to determine whether the carousel is scrollable or not. https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/b655040afb3d5a482fd0c295dda4a6d8802c3df6/src/components/Attachments/AttachmentCarousel/useCarouselContextEvents.ts#L7

And we will disable it when the attachment is zoomed in. https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/b655040afb3d5a482fd0c295dda4a6d8802c3df6/src/components/Attachments/AttachmentCarousel/useCarouselContextEvents.ts#L29-L45

However, in the PDF attachment (android file only), we have a Pan gesture that enable the scroll when lifting our finger after panning. https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/b655040afb3d5a482fd0c295dda4a6d8802c3df6/src/components/Attachments/AttachmentView/AttachmentViewPdf/index.android.tsx#L55-L61

In https://github.com/Expensify/App/pull/30050, we add the Pan gesture to disable the carousel scrolling when scrolling the PDF. Then, https://github.com/Expensify/App/pull/33756 added the onTouchesUp code to re-enable it after we are done panning.

The problem is, we don't always want to re-enable the scroll after panning, especially when we are already zoomed in.

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

The problem that https://github.com/Expensify/App/pull/30050 solves is that the carousel/pager scroll conflicted with the PDF scroll, so we disable the carousel scroll when scrolling the PDF. But in our case, the PDF is zoomed in, which means the carousel/pager scroll is already disabled, so we don't need the logic to disable/re-enable it again.

To solve this, only execute the logic if the zoom scale is 1 (not zoomed in). https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/b655040afb3d5a482fd0c295dda4a6d8802c3df6/src/components/Attachments/AttachmentView/AttachmentViewPdf/index.android.tsx#L35

if (offsetX.value !== 0 && offsetY.value !== 0 && isScrollEnabled && scale.value === 1) {

https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/b655040afb3d5a482fd0c295dda4a6d8802c3df6/src/components/Attachments/AttachmentView/AttachmentViewPdf/index.android.tsx#L55-L61

if (!isScrollEnabled || scale.value !== 1) {
    return;
}

OR

isScrollEnabled.value = scale.value === 1;

To address the issue of navigating attachments while a PDF is zoomed in, several key solutions are proposed. First, the app should disable navigation when the PDF viewer is in a zoomed state, preventing users from accidentally switching attachments. Visual feedback, like a message or overlay, should indicate this restriction to help manage user expectations. Additionally, gesture handling needs to be modified to ignore swipes while in zoom mode, allowing only pinch gestures for zooming.

Implementing a state management system will track whether the PDF is zoomed in, controlling navigation functions accordingly. Comprehensive testing is essential to ensure that the changes work across various scenarios and devices. A user settings option could also be considered, allowing users to toggle navigation while zoomed in for added flexibility. Finally, after deployment, monitoring user feedback will be crucial to assess how effective the solution is and to make further adjustments as needed. These steps aim to enhance the overall user experience when interacting with PDF attachments.
