Pencil vs Touch w/ new structure

[mzruiz]

Hola hola,

Previously, to determine if a touch was a pencil, I could update this file and add something like nextTouch.isPencil = [touch type] == UITouchTypePencil;

With the new 'structure' I see we're using GestureResponderEvent (i.e., const onTouchStart = (touch: GestureResponderEvent)).

I've been digging into the releases/PRs/node_modules/google to find a lead on where I could replicate a similar 'patch' but no luck so far.

I'll comment as/if I uncover more.

I see there is a pointerType prop on the NativePointerEvent and the PointerEvent is used by the onPointerX callbacks.

At this point, I cannot get the onPointerDown/onPointerEnter/etc functions to call when performing a touch within a Canvas.

We solely rely on Gesture handler for this kind of information the information needs to be available from react-native-gesture-handler unfortunately. This is something we should try to bump. I'm surprise this wasn't a use-case outside Skia.

@wcandillon Got it - ty for the quick reply.

Just to make sure I'm asking for the right thing, would I ask about adding pointerType to GestureResponderEvent or would it be something else such as the onPointerDown not being fired?
