On Android using Jetpack Compose, I want to make the HorizontalPager scroll in only one direction, so forward only. I can’t get either pointerInput or pointerInteropFilter to correctly handle my gesture detection.

I’ve tried the following code, but neither option works

 // if you use detectDragGesture on the box, then the message is printed, however the event does not bubble up and the horizontalPager will not swipe
  // if you put the pointerInput onto the HorizontalPager, then the gesture is not detected and no message is printed
  HorizontalPager(state = pagerState) { page ->
        // Display each page with a different background color
        Box(
            modifier = Modifier
                .fillMaxSize()
                .background(colors[page])
                .pointerInput(Unit) {
                    detectDragGestures { _, _ ->
                        println("In Here")
                    }
               }
        ) {
        }
   }
   
// the other option is to use pointerInteropFilter 
// the problem with this is that when used with the horizontalPager it does not detect the ACTION_MOVE for horizontal scroll
 HorizontalPager(state = pagerState) { page ->
        Box(
            modifier = Modifier
                .fillMaxSize()
                .background(colors[page])
                .pointerInteropFilter { motionEvent ->
                    when (motionEvent.action) 
                        MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE -> {
                                // This is not detected for horizontal scroll
                            println("ACTION_MOVE")
                        }                    }
                    true
                }
        ) {
            Text("Hello")
        }
    }

If I can correctly detect a backward swipe then I should be able to set userScrollEnabled on the pager to disable the backward swipe.

Any other approach to disabling backward swiping would also work.
