Android Port Doesn't Handle Mouse Events Properly, Specifically Scroll Wheel

[shai-almog]

Looking at the code we will probably need to add a listener to mouse events here and some handling similar to this.

Android docs have some discussion about the types of events available in newer versions of Android that should include those gestures here.

RFE based on this reddit thread.

In the simulator, the scroll wheel generates a down/drag/up sequence which tricks things that thought they were
implementing drag scrolling into working. In a fresh start this ought to be tossed. Given that android devices with
keyboards and mice are not a common thing now, I would favor starting over with an api like the native java.

@shai-almog Hi, I am a first-time contributor. I would like to spend some time to look into this issue and crack it!

codenameone isn't the most approachable crew for outside contributors. Generally
the procedure is for you to do all the work on spec, and produce a pull request.

@Tianfeng-Chen good luck. We're here for you.

@ddyer0 get lost. Seriously. You literally asked for this feature and you're actively trying to discourage people who want to help. This has been your attitude in our community for a while now. Maybe that's why people don't want to help you.

i wasn't trying to discourage him, I was pointing him in the direction to move.

Hey, is this issue still open? I am very new to open source and think I might be able to help with this issue

[shai-almog]

I'm not sure. There's a PR that we somehow missed and didn't review. I just asked @shannah to review it again.

hi, is the issue still open?

[shai-almog]

It's still open. Steve reviewed the PR here: #3663
But no action was taken. If someone else wants to continue that's probably a good starting point.
