[Orbit] Sliders Do Not Work on Mobile devices

[neriticzone]

I am working on a prototype website and noticed that the sliders work on the Desktop but not mobile. I am able to click on parts of the bar and the handle moves accordingly, but you cannot actually move the handle itself. I have observed this on two different Samsung Android devices running Chrome and FireFox on both my demo page as well as the Zurb Official Slider Documentation for Foundation 6.

I saw the issue on www.foundation.zurb.com/sites/docs/slider.html

This is a known bug with Samsung phones after the recent deploy of Android 5. Somewhere they changed how mouse and touch events are handled. We'll be looking into it, but if you or anyone else thinks they can tackle it, we'd love to see a pr for this.

@yohio you still interested in maintaining the util you wrote?

Any new to this issue? For me: swipe and orbit-nav-buttons does not work with Android Browser (Version 4) at Android 4.3.

Update:
The Android stock browser doesn't fire touch events. It just tries to emulate mouse clicks with taps, firing mousedown, mouseup and click events consecutively, but double taps just zoom in and out tha page.

Update2:
The problem was not the events (jQuery does all needed). Old Android versions does not support CSS-Transitions. Oribt use motion-ui so you need to add a polyfill for that. Imho could this be closed.

Android 4 is quite old and Google now ships Chrome on new devices.

Android Browser | Versions 2.3+

Is the table still accurate for 6.4.3?

At least it works in current Android browsers.

@DanielRuf I think we can probably close this one out due to how old Android 4 is now. If anybody objects, feel free to reopen.
