Android Question Can't drag Google Map markers [Solved]

[Roger Daley]

Hi All,

Not exactly a B4A question but....

I have installed one of my Apps on my new phone (Galaxy A70 Android 9) and found I can't drag the markers on the map.
To check that I had not introduced an error I installed the App from the play store to several devices (Android 5,8,9). All worked except the A70 Android 9.

As I said, not really a B4a problem but if anyone has an answer I would appreciate any thoughts.

If this is a problem for me it may be a problem for the Apps users and I will need figure out a workaround.

Regards Roger

EDIT: Additional information. Wife's phone identical and the App works perfectly. I have compared settings and can't find anything.

EDIT: Even more information.
If I hold my finger on marker for 4-5 seconds it picks up the marker which can be dragged. 4-5 seconds is a long time to hold and if I move in that time it doesn't pick up.

Selecting Apps in the App Draw works on this long long press.????

Have you tried to restart the device?

Erel,
Always a good idea. Restarted many times.

Try to update Google Play Services: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ndroid.gms&referrer=utm_source=playhelpcenter

Erel,
The link doesn't give an option to Update only to Deactivate. A quick read tells me that this means the device has the latest version.
I've tried clearing cache and data but didn't help.

I will keep trying.

Hi All,

Found it
"Touch and Hold Delay" is adjustable in the Accessability settings. Mine was set to 5 seconds.

A trap for the unwary.
Many thanks to Erel for the suggestions.
