Description
Prevents
NativeDetectorfrom reacting to events that happen on its surface but not on any of its children. This should match the behavior from the V2 API, and feels more like an "expected" result.This doesn't affect the web since
display: contentsthere isn't subject to our hacks and the detector doesn't create a box. The behavior after this PR should be consistent across the platforms.Since codegen is not perfect, to put it lightly, I had to redeclare
pointerEventsin the spec and handle the setter on Android. The only base class that does it automatically isReactViewManager, but we need to create aViewGroupto accept children.Test plan
