In the Android docs for a PopupWindow, the method setIgnoreCheekPress() is mentioned. It says that this method “Sets the flag on popup to ignore cheek press event; by default this flag is set to false which means the pop wont ignore cheek press dispatch events.”
Quite simply, what is a cheek press dispatch event?
It’s the event dispatched when your cheek presses against the phone.
Events have a size, the size is compared against a threshold to determine if it’s a “cheek”, e.g., if the size is bigger than some “it’s a finger” threshold. This allows phones to not react when someone has the phone up to their face and their cheek is pressing on the screen.
Clarification from comment. The phone does not know you’ve specifically pressed with your cheek. It assumes you’re not rubbing up on it with other large (compared to a finger) body parts. Ew.
