Part of the challenges in coming with a new App UI for Android touchscreen is that is with no AWT you have to find other ways to enable features since you do not  have those AWT APIs. In my Widgez example:

I still have to separate out the menu choose-by-flinging concept from the underlying events to drag the panels and etc. Sure I could go code heavy and come up with a new API but that is not the easiest and innovative way to face the challenge.  The innovative way is to make the four fling zones one on top edge, one on left edge, one on right edge, and one on the  bottom edge where focusing and flinging on those zones doe sthe application menu-page choices.
