Checking if finger is over certain view not working in Android

I am working on a paint app with the following layout:

For the paint app, I detect touch events on the Canvas using onTouchEvent. I have one problem, I want to also detect touch events in which the user begins the swipe on the root and then hovers over the Canvas.

To achieve this, I added the following code:

binding.root.setOnTouchListener { _, motionEvent ->
    val hitRect = Rect()
    binding.activityCanvasCardView.getHitRect(hitRect)

    if (hitRect.contains(motionEvent.rawX.toInt(), motionEvent.rawY.toInt())) {
        binding.activityCanvasPixelGridView.onTouchEvent(motionEvent)
    }
    true
}

It kind of works, but the thing is. It's not detecting the touch events over the canvas (wrapped in a CardView) properly, it's like there's a sort of delay:

How can I detect touch events properly over a view?
