SelectionArea does not vibrate on Android #104551
Description
When I select text on my Android, for every single character my phone vibrates. I tried to show it my video. If you make the sounds really loud, you can hear the vibrations a bit.
IMG_0020.MOV
I would expect the behavior for the SelectionArea in my Flutter App.
I used Pixel 4a with Android 12.
I also tried it on my iPhone 13 but there are no vibration when selecting text in a native iOS (but I'm also not 100% sure if I maybe disabled it - if it's possible)

there is also a magnify glass when you select text in Android as well. Yes this is also in my radar.
cc @justinmc this may also apply to text field and the magnify glass project

Indeed. Didn't notice it 😅 I will create a separate issue to track this better 👍
nilsreichardt commentedon May 24, 2022
@justinmc Do you know if there are already open tickets for these two behaviors? We need one ticket for the magnifying glass and one for the vibrations when selecting. I tested it and the
TextFielddoes not have both. If there are no tickets, let me know - I can then create two tickets.nilsreichardt commentedon May 25, 2022
For the magnifying glass I found the ticket #17617 👍

I am able to reproduce this on the current version of master. Along with that, selection on Android is very buggy as seen in the video below.
Note: this was tested using a production build (
flutter build web) of the sample codeand served locally using
python3 -m http.server --directory build/web.Video showing buggy selection

@exaby73 Great catch! Should we extract this into a separate issue?

FYI #104603 and #104620 @nilsreichardt

@nilsreichardt There's also another magnifying glass issue for iOS: #9507.
I'm not aware of any issues about the vibration thing.

@justinmc Good to know, thanks!
