Android :: 1.6 Gestures And WebView

WebView can scroll on both axis. That makes it hard to integrate with the 1.6 gestures. At the same time a WebView is often used as the main and huge content area, so either there is a way to work with gestures properly or gestures can't be used in lots of places.

Did anybody do this and has recommendations on how to do that properly?

The main problem I see is that a scrolling in any direction can be interpreted as a gestures and which keeps the user from scrolling. And because this is an issue for any direction I can't workaround the problem with only using horizontal or vertical gestures.

The best solution I found so far is canceling the gesture when no new onGesture events occur for 200ms. And with the finger still on the screen the user can then scroll. But that sounds better than it is, as scrolling often requires to pull up the finger again, when the end of the screen is reached, and put it down again on the opposite side, to keep on scrolling. But then the next touch down needs to wait the delay again, which is not very intuitive and as it can lead to a gesture being executed this is even less cool.
