Javascript: Any workarounds for getting Chrome for Android to fire off touchmove and touchend event listeners other than using event.preventDefault()?

Viewed 12491

When using event listeners with the touchmove and touchend events, I can't get Chrome for Android to acknowledge those events unless I first use event.preventDefault(); earlier in the code. If I'm not wanting to block the default scroll functionality, is there any other workaround I can use to get Chrome for Android to acknowledge these events?

Sample code:

$(document).ready(function () {
// Bind touch event listeners.
var elem = $('html').get(0);
elem.addEventListener('touchstart', function (e) { console.info('"touchstart" detected. Coordinates - ' + getCoord(e)); });
elem.addEventListener('touchmove', function (e) { console.info('"touchmove" detected. Coordinates - ' + getCoord(e)); });
elem.addEventListener('touchend', function (e) { console.info('"touchend" detected. Coordinates - ' + getCoord(e)); });

function getCoord(e) {
var touch = false;
if (e.touches.length > 0) {
touch = e.touches[0];
} else {
touch = e.changedTouches[0];
}
if (touch) {
return 'x: ' + touch.pageX + ', y: ' + touch.pageY;
}
}
