Documents common gesture meanings, including long press for accessing additional functionality, swipe for navigation and completing actions, and list-item gestures that reveal actions or selection.
Pattern Decisions This Source Supports
| Pattern | Supported decision | Required contract | Claim note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Long press | Choose long press when the design problem is a sustained-contact gesture and its threshold, feedback, cancellation, and equivalent action path. | Long press starts only from a target that intentionally supports sustained contact. | Supports long press as a common gesture for additional functionality and list-item selection. |
| Swipe action | Choose swipe action when the design problem is a horizontal item-level gesture that reveals or commits row-scoped commands. | Swipe action starts only from the intended row and horizontal axis; vertical scroll and pull-to-refresh win when movement is primarily vertical. | Supports swipe as a recognized gesture for completing actions and revealing list-item actions. |
