+<task id="GUID-165EE4DD-C9CA-430B-8377-068A4194716E" xml:lang="en"><title>Modifying
+applications to support single-tap</title><shortdesc> Symbian^3 enhances the touch interaction by providing 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).<note> The UI components can be
+used in hybrid devices for both touch and non-touch events. For details, see <xref href="GUID-EE001282-604B-45F4-8A9E-F657113C86CE.dita">Designing application UIs
+for touch and non-touch devices</xref>.</note>  </p></context>
