Mobile devices work differently from desktops and laptops, which affects both terminology and the elements unsupported in mobile design.
o‘Page is Clicked’ or ‘Object is Clicked’ behavior events should be considered ‘Page is Tapped’ or ‘Object is Tapped'.
oA ‘Key is Pressed’ event will also cover swiping text and word prediction keyboards.
oSince there is no tabbing on a mobile device, an ‘Object gains focus’ or 'Table row gains focus' behavior event is triggered only when the ‘Show’ command moves the focus to that object, or when the object or row is tapped.
oSince there is no tabbing on a mobile device, an ‘Object loses focus’ or 'Table row loses focus' behavior event is triggered only when the ‘Show’ command moves the focus to another object, or when another object or row is tapped.
oGrouped objects, except for radio-button and checkbox groups, are not supported in mobile design. Neither the group nor the objects inside the group can be added to the mobile version.

Because a Timer object has no visual representation, it cannot be included when laying out your mobile design. Timer-related behaviors are still triggered in the mobile version. |
