Android animation cancels drag events on annotations

[SalimHFX]

I'm using a CircleManager to handle a bunch of events such as click, long click, drag started, drag and drag finished. I am also using some android animations that do things such as periodically change the circles' radius.

Without the animations the drag events work just fine.

Now, with the animation process on, I can't drag my circles around. Using some traces I realized that the onAnnotationDragStarted event does get triggered when I try to move a circle. However, the onAnnotationDragFinished also instantly gets triggered right after the onAnnotationDragStarted.

Am I doing something work or is this expected behaviour ? If so, is there any workaround for it ? I'd very much like to be able to both animate and drag around my annotations.

Thank you

This behavior is enforced to ensure the data sets integrity - for example, we need to make sure to stop dragging when an annotation is removed or its position changes programmatically. That said, we should be able to relax those constraints for other types of updates.

I understand, thanks.

For anyone who might be facing the same issue, the workaround I found is simply to pause/resume the animation's Animator on onDragStarted/onDragFinished events.

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?

Any movement on this? Still running into this issue...

I'm also interested in getting this resolved. I have lines on the map that are associated with markers, and when the marker drags, I need the line to move with it. Despite the fact that these are managed by different AnnotationManagers, the drag is still invalidated. Seems to be because there is only a single instance of the DraggableAnnotationController used by every manager, which I know is necessary

I'd like to investigate the constraints a bit more here and take a stab at getting this done myself.

@LukasPaczos is there a reason that any map update stops the drag, as opposed to just updates to the marker being dragged? It seems to me like checking to make sure the marker being dragged hasn't changed would be enough to safely continue the drag after a onSourceUpdated() call.
