Avoid gesture trigger with pressing button

AnkiDroid (Android) Help

In my cards I have external audio (no I cannot download it all) and want to be able to press play without triggering a gesture for a press.
I tried to add an a tag as normal links don’t trigger the gesture but it didn’t work:

<a href="#" class="hidden-a">
    <audio controls>
        <source src="https://xeno-canto.org/sounds/uploaded/QZOXFIKPFF/XC358027-AMWO%20-%20Peent%20-%20Elsen%27s%20Hill%20-%202017-03-05%2018_28.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
    </audio>
</a>

Is there a way to avoid the gesture trigger for html elements like audio?

A known issue and will be solved in the new reviewer. I think for now you need to replace tap gestures that can potentially conflict with swipe gestures or other tap gestures.

Haven’t tried this myself, but maybe autoplaying with JS can help? There were a few of them posted in the forums, not sure though.

Yes autoplaying works, it’s just when you have multiple sounds it becomes a problem.
