Pinching the screen (especially with single hand) doesn't reliably zoom images and I have to try multiple times to get it to work

Are you sure this is not an issue with your phone? I can zoom just fine on Jerboa

Nope, I have the same issue, but I have narrowed down the exact behavior.

If you put 2 fingers on the screen in a fullscreen image and slide them even the tiniest millimeter it will go into "pan mode" or so instead of zooming mode. You can no longer zoom until you release your fingers and place them without moving them at all before you pinch to zoom. (I have this happen much more often in practice while using the phone 1 handed on an unstable environment like a tram or train.

Interestingly, you can pan and zoom at the same time if already zoomed in, but on a full image where panning doesn't do anything, it will lock both actions until you release your fingers.

Hm, I just tried it and it indeed does behave like you described, but only if you slide the fingers diagonally. If you slide them vertically you won't have this issue and it's the reason I didn't stumble upon it before

Edit: wait, seems like this is not the case. It behaves weirdly, sometimes I can zoom just fine, sometimes sliding fingers won't zoom but do nothing.

Also can you do this too:

Could you test if you can still reproduce it in these builds (I can not test it myself as I can not seem to reproduce it)

I have modified some code to isolate the problem.

Release version of 46

Depending on how you installed it might not allow you to install this release version

Note replacing an existing install with this version, will probably delete your app info (it should tell you) use debug version instead if that is not wanted app-release_zoomable.zip

Debug version of 46 app-debug_zoomable.zip

Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.
