Abstract:
A method executes software including a view hierarchy with a plurality of views which displays one or more views of the view hierarchy. The method executes software elements associated with a particular view, wherein each particular view in-cludes event recognizers. Each event recognizer has an event definition based on sub-events, and an event handler that specifies an action for a target, and is configured to send the action to the target in response to an event recognition. The method detects a sequence of sub-events, and identifies one of the views of the view hierarchy as a hit view that establishes which views in the hier-archy are actively involved views. The method delivers a respective sub-event to event recognizers for each actively involved view, wherein each event recognizer for actively involved views in the view hierarchy processes the respective sub-event prior to processing a next sub-event in the sequence of sub-events.
Abstract:
A method for configuring a hardware keyboard without user intervention. At least one of language information and location information from one or more hardware and software information sources associated with the electronic device is obtained. The hardware and software information is prioritized based on the reliability of their associated language and location information. A keyboard language and layout is determined for the hardware keyboard based on the language information and location information obtained from the information source having the highest relative priority. The electronic device is configured to interpret key input signals from the hardware keyboard based on the determined keyboard language and keyboard layout.
Abstract:
In some embodiments, a device displays content on a touch screen display and detects input by finger gestures. In response to the finger gestures, the device selects content, visually distinguishes the selected content, and/or updates the selected content based on detected input. In some embodiments, the device displays a command display area that includes one or more command icons; detects activation of a command icon in the command display area; and, in response to detecting activation of the command icon in the command display area, performs a corresponding action with respect to the selected content. Exemplary actions include cutting, copying, and pasting content.
