Long time ago when only PC and laptops were used for internet browsing, it was fairly easy to create a website that looks good on most screens. But nowadays smartphones, tablets, smartwatches and other wearable devices has significantly complicated this process. That’s why responsive ecommerce site that adapts to various screens is a necessity for many companies.

What happens within the system when a user touches the screen? And even more important — how to handle it right? The time has come to figure everything out once and for all! Today’s post is on what I’ve learned about Android Touch System and my experience with it.
