Can't detect all Swipes on NestedScrollView with embedded WebView

Need to reliably detect the left and right swipe on whole NestedScrollView. I tried various options but nothing worked so far! Please refer the code below -

Following is the layout

The activity code is as follows

package com.example.nestedswipe

import android.util.Log
import android.view.GestureDetector
import android.view.MotionEvent
import android.view.View

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

    lateinit var binding: ActivityMainBinding

    @SuppressLint("SetJavaScriptEnabled", "ClickableViewAccessibility")
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)

        binding = ActivityMainBinding.inflate(layoutInflater)
        val view: View = binding.root
        setContentView(view)

        binding.webView.settings.javaScriptEnabled = true
        binding.webView.loadUrl("https://www.basicwebsiteexample.com/media/")

        val gestureDetector = GestureDetector(this, GestureListener(this))
        binding.article.setOnTouchListener { view, event ->
            Log.d("DEMO", "Article OnTouch")
            gestureDetector.onTouchEvent(event)
        }

        binding.webView.requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true)
        binding.webView.setOnTouchListener { view, event ->

    }

    class GestureListener(private var context : Context) : GestureDetector.SimpleOnGestureListener() {
        companion object {
            private const val SWIPE_THRESHOLD = 100
            private const val SWIPE_VELOCITY_THRESHOLD = 100
        }
        override fun onFling(
            e1: MotionEvent,
            e2: MotionEvent,
            velocityX: Float,
            velocityY: Float
        ): Boolean {
            Log.d("DEMO", "onFling")
            var result = false
            try {
                val diffY = e2.y - e1.y
                val diffX = e2.x - e1.x
                if (abs(diffX) > abs(diffY)) {
                    if (abs(diffX) > SWIPE_THRESHOLD && abs(velocityX) > SWIPE_VELOCITY_THRESHOLD) {
                        result = if (diffX > 0) {
                            //Toast.makeText(context, "Swipe Right", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
                            Log.d("DEMO", "Swipe Right")
                            true
                        } else {
                            //Toast.makeText(context, "Swipe Left", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
                            Log.d("DEMO", "Swipe Left")
                            true
                        }
                    }
                }
            } catch (exception: Exception) {
                exception.printStackTrace()
            }
            return result
        }
    }
}

Build.gradle

    implementation 'androidx.core:core-ktx:1.8.0'
    implementation 'androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-runtime-ktx:2.3.1'
    implementation "androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.1.4"
    implementation "com.google.android.material:material:1.9.0"

The touch events on Image area are properly detected and swipes are predicted properly. Logcat result is

19:50:44.531  D  Article OnTouch
19:50:44.548  D  Article OnTouch
19:50:44.582  D  Article OnTouch
19:50:44.582  D  onFling
19:50:44.582  D  Swipe Left

However the swipes on the Webview are not reliably detected. Some swipes are detected while other are lost which are proper swipe.

Logcat shows results as below

19:55:54.485  D  Webview OnTouch
19:55:54.530  D  Webview OnTouch
19:55:54.547  D  Webview OnTouch
19:55:54.563  D  Webview OnTouch
19:55:54.579  D  Webview OnTouch
19:55:54.596  D  Article OnTouch
19:55:54.612  D  Article OnTouch
19:55:54.629  D  Article OnTouch
19:55:54.645  D  Article OnTouch
19:55:54.662  D  Article OnTouch
19:55:54.679  D  Article OnTouch
19:55:54.696  D  Article OnTouch
19:55:54.850  D  Article OnTouch
19:55:54.851  D  onFling

I suspect that touch events are getting partially consumed by Webview and Article view. Thus even if Fling is detected, it is partial and thus Swipe event is not recognised.

How to reliably detect the left and right swipe on whole NestedScrollView?
