Tell us about the problem

Too difficult to open SideDrawer with swipe compared with native apps.

Which platform(s) does your issue occur on?

Android

Please provide the following version numbers that your issue occurs with:

• All versions

Please tell us how to recreate the issue in as much detail as possible.

Swiping from the edge is pretty unresponsive - in general it's much harder to open the drawer with a swipe than what most users will be used to on Android e.g. with apps such as ASOS or Gmail which seem to have about a 1% width from the left as an activation zone.

It'd be helpful to have an activation zone setting e.g. 1% of screen width to trigger the gesture.

Is there code involved? If so, please share the minimal amount of code needed to recreate the problem.

How is this progressing? It feels more like a bug to me to be honest. Not a feature or enhancement. The side drawer is pretty unusable in its current form. 90% of the time you cannot open it with a swipe. There are other issues raised on GitHub related to this too I believe elsewhere.

I found it. #1175 complains of the same issue.
