Item-specific options menu

Item-specific options are placed in the stylus pop-up menu that is activated with touch down and hold on an item. Menu can be attached to almost all the items. Opening of the pop-up is indicated to the user via animation during the touch down and hold. If the finger is released before the touch down and hold time-out (0.5 seconds) is full, item’s touch down and release activity is initiated. If the stylus pop-up menu is launched from an item that can hold focus (for example, list item), the focus is displayed on the item while the stylus pop-up menu is open.

Note: The application only needs to tag items to be item-specific. The application framework will handle the remaining tasks.
