support for single-tap.</shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><taskbody>

<context id="GUID-0EFB67F7-2936-4126-B13A-67402F696663"><p>S60 5th

Edition introduced touch support feature with double-tap to maintain

binary and source code compatibility with the existing S60 3.x applications.

The UI was focus driven, with the first tap for object selection (the

corresponding event forwarded to the application) and the second tap

for activation.</p><p>Symbian^3 enhances the touch support with single

tap for achieving better usability and development of platform and

3rd party applications. The supporting UI is based on direct manipulation

and is not focus driven, which means that a single-tap on the device

selects and activates an event. This change modifies the touch behavior

of certain UI components as listed below:<ul>

<li><p>By default, none of the menu items are highlighted.</p></li>

<li><p>Item specific options are displayed in stylus menus rather

than in options menus.</p></li>

<li><p>The side toolbar is hidden in the landscape layout view except

in specific applications like the message viewer and editor.</p></li>

</ul></p><p>It is highly recommended that you migrate your applications

to single-tap to complement the platform UI behavior. However, if

you do not migrate your applications to single-tap, they work the

same way as in S60 5th Edition (touch support with double-tap). </p></context>
