    Description

      Please see this attached sample program (tabletCanvasDrawing.zip).  It's an implementation of this Qt Sample.  It works fine on these configurations:

      • (built-in) Wacom pressure pen/tablet on Linux
      • USB Wacom tablet on macOS
      • iPad Pro w/ Apple Pencil

      I get the varying pressure sensitivity and it draws where I put the pen tip to.  Though, when I tried it out on an Kindle Fire 10 HD (Android), with the same USB Wacom tablet I used for macOS, it wasn't drawing at all.

      Back in Qt 5.15.x, and when using a `QQuickWindow::tabletEvent()` overload, This "Kindle+USB Wacom" configuration worked.  So this should be supported by Qt.  (See QTBUG-97859 for one of my previous reports.)

      **Because of this, I'm also concerned that the attached example might not work on Android tablets that have built in pressure pens.  E.g. A Samsung Galaxy Tab S6.

      It also might be worth it to verify this works on Windows w/ pressure pens, but haven't tested that configuration yet.
