A device displays a first selectable user interface (UI) element associated with a first touch activation region. The device detects a change of movement of the display. In response to the change of movement, the device adjusts the first touch activation region to encompass a new area. The new area is at least partially different from the first touch activation region prior to the change of movement and is based on the change of the movement. After detecting the change of movement, the device detects a touch input. In accordance with a determination that the touch input is detected within the adjusted first touch activation region, the device performs a user interface operation associated with the first selectable UI element. In accordance with a determination that the touch input is detected outside the adjusted first touch activation region, the device forgoes performance of the user interface operation.

Device, method, and graphical user interface for adjusting touch activation regions associated with selectable user interface elements

A method of determining a layout for an electronic document comprising a web object that includes a set of components is provided. The method, for each component of the web object, injects code into a web frame used to retrieve the component of the web object. The program sends a request to a web content retriever to retrieve the web object. The program, for each component of the web object, receives a message at the layout generation application from the injected code in the corresponding web frame indicating the completion of the retrieving of the component. Each message includes the height of the corresponding web object component. The method determines a layout for the web object by using the height of the web object components after the messages received from the injected code indicate that every component of the web object is retrieved.

Layout generation for an electronic document that includes a web object

An electronic device: displays an interactive UI object that conditionally exhibits respective interactive behavior responsive to changes in detected contact intensity, and content that does not exhibit the respective interactive behavior. The device detects a first input over the interactive UI object. In accordance with a determination that the first input meets first appearance-manipulation criteria (e.g., an intensity of the contact exceeds a first intensity threshold), the device changes an appearance of the interactive UI object based on the intensity of the contact and independent of lateral movement of the contact. In accordance with a determination that the first input meets second appearance-manipulation criteria (e.g., the intensity of the contact exceeds a second intensity threshold, greater than the first intensity threshold), the device changes the appearance of the interactive UI object based on lateral movement of the contact detected after the intensity of the contact exceeds the second intensity threshold.

Devices, methods, and graphical user interfaces for manipulating embedded interactive content

A two-step process to determine the layout of an electronic document such as a webpage or an article is provided. The electronic document is selected from a summary page that displays summaries of several documents. In the first pass, an image of the selected document is identified in the summary page and the end of the image is marked as a target location for doing a partial layout. A partial layout that includes a location for the image is then determined and stored. The image is animated to the determined location. In the second pass, while the image is being animated, a full layout is determined for the document. The full layout uses the stored results of the first pass and generated the layout from the target location to the end of the document.

Dynamic layout generation for an electronic document

Some embodiments provide a GUI for a document reader application for viewing videos in video document panes. In some embodiments, the GUI determines whether to play the video inline within a document pane based on the size of the video document pane. In some embodiments, when a video is being played within a video document pane, a user can select the body of the video document pane to show the full content of the video document. Some embodiments provide a GUI that, when a user scrolls a video off-screen while the videos are playing inline in the document panes, pauses or stops the playback of the video and provides an indication that the playback is being stopped. In some embodiments, the indication is a fading of the video or of audio associated with the video, as the video document is scrolled off-screen.
