Missing option to disable onSymbolTapped event to get propagated to onMapClick event

[nheumann]

I have a use case where I need to detect whether the map - but not a symbol - was clicked. As the onSymbolTapped event also propagates the event to the underlying map layer, the onMapClick event is also called when a symbol is clicked. I want this behaviour:

• when I click on the map layer, then my onMapClick callback is called
• when I click on a custom symbol, then only my custom onSymbolTapped callback is called

Is there a way to achieve this with the existing release?

@nheumann Not with the current release, unfortunately, but this has been fixed upstream (mapbox/mapbox-plugins-android#1124) and when that fix is released in the Mapbox Annotation plugin, we'll update our dependency and fix this.

@m0nac0 Thank you for your quick reply. How about web and iOS?

[m0nac0]

@nheumann You're welcome. This bug has only been reported for Android so far, are you also experiencing this on web and iOS?

[nheumann]

@m0nac0 I tested this in the sample app and it occurs for Android and also web. iOS works as expected.

@nheumann Thanks for testing it, we'll have to look into that as well then.

@andrea689 Do you know how we could solve this for web? I've tried adding a stopPropagation() method to the Event, EventJsImpl, MapMouseEvent and MapMouseEventJsImpl classes in mapbox_gl_dart and calling that in mapbox_gl_web FeatureManager's click handler. That works (onMapClick is not fired anymore) but I'm also getting a TypeError: this.jsObject.stopPropagation is not a function in the debug console every time I click a symbol.

I went around this problem like this. Clicking on the symbol first fires onSymbolTapped and then onMapClick. After clicking the symbol, I immediately set a variable whose default is false to true. I set it to false after 100 milliseconds. I would ignore onMapClick if this value is true.

The fix has been released upstream 👍

@Ph0tonic Thank you for fixing it! I actually (and coincidentally 😄 ) just now finished testing and opened the PR .

The issue is resolved on Android but still appears on web.
