Issue still reproducible with ICEfaces4 trunk rev. 43987 (iOS7, iPhone4S), actually rows cannot be selected at all, and zooming in does not resolve the issue.

Tested with ICEfaces 4 trunk r44140.
DataView (all browsers, desktop and mobile)
iPhone4S: styling is not persisted when selecting rows; they render blue for a fraction of a second, then revert to initial color.
Desktop/all browsers and android: styling is applied when selecting rows, however it is lost when checking/unchecking the "Manual" checkbox.

Removed 'click' event callback for touch devices to avoid toggling the row selection twice. Now only the 'touchend' callback does the row selection for touch devices.

Several issues still exist with the mobi:dataView application.
1.) (apple devices) When selecting/desecting a row the screen flickers for a moment a modal layer is applied and removed very quickly. If you tap and hold your finger over a row the modal layer stays in place. Also occurs with showcase ace:dataTable > Selection demo.

2.) (android/apple/desktop) After selecting a row, then deselecting the manual checkbox in the editing area, the row loses it's selected styling. This is not a new issue.

3.) (android) After selecting rows several times the application stops responding. This usually requires 10 plus individual row selections.

3) Ensure that 'activationTimeout' setTimeout identifier is always cleared by placing the cleanup code in a 'finally' block.

1) Prevent execution of default action when 'touchend' event is captured to select row. It seems that Safari's default action is to flicker the enclosing form when clicking or touching an inner element.

Modified dataView's renderer to render 'ui-state-active' CSS class on the active row. Also added ace:ajax facet to mobi:dataView (in the test case) to enable 'server' mode and thus have the row selection submitted to the server.

A NPE occurs when trying to access the dataView demo in showcase, and also the QA test app for dataView > /dataViewColumnDynAttribute.jsf and /dataViewAceTabSet.jsf tests.

Added test for null DataView.activeRowIndex in dataView's renderer.

ICEfaces4 trunk r46995/ IE11/Chrome, Android 6, iPhone4S/iOS7.2: the server error is no longer seen.
From the above issues mentioned by Liana, issues 1) and 3) can no longer be reproduced; 2) cannot be tested on iOs.

New findings:
1) On QA dataView > /dataViewColumnDynAttribute.jsf: selecting rows works only until a checkbox is deselected (iOS/Android; not an issue on desktop browsers).

2) On showcase > dataView, the "Manual" checkbox can not be checked/unchecked after selecting a row (mobile devices only, iOS/Android); also, the "Cost" text entry can not be edited (Android only, not an issue on iOS). These issues can also be seen if testing with the dataView QA test app > /dataViewColumnDynAttribute.jsf.

1) and 2) Applied fix that registers the 'touchend' event handler with the element containing the rows (instead of using component's root element), thus avoiding cancelling 'touchend' events for elements that do not participate in row selection.

ICEfaces4 trunk r47002 (desktop/IE11, Chrome47; iOS7/9, Android6):
1) still seems to be an issue on both iOS and Android; on iOS, selecting rows works until checking/unchecking a checkbox; on Android, rows cannot be selected when first loading the test page, then after unchecking a checbox, rows can be selected in a random way.
2) is resolved on iOS. On Android, after editing the cost for one row, when selecting another row for editing (by clicking anywhere on the row), the keyboard pops up and the focus returns to the cost input field. This does not happen if after the cost is edited, the user clicks outside the cost text entry.

Tested with ICEfaces 4 trunk r47037.
Issue 1 above is resolved (ios, android, desktop) however issue 2 (android) can still be easily reproduced.

Re-opened for remaining Android issue.

Applied fix that removes focus from the any previously used input element (of type 'text', 'number', 'email', 'tel', 'search', 'url', or 'password') to allow row selection without having the keyboard popup.

Verified ICEfaces 4 trunk r47057. Tomcat 8, Android 6.0.1, ios 9.1.

Verified Jenkins ICEfaces-4.1.1 Build#1 on iOS7/iPhone4S, iOS9/iPad, desktop/Chrome48.
