Abstract
An electronic device, with a display and an input device, displays, on the display, a user interface for an application. While displaying the user interface, the device receives a user input. In response to the user input: the device provides to the application a first input event having a phase field with a first phase value, the first input event corresponding to an input proximate to but not in contact with a touch-sensitive surface. After providing the first input event, the device provides to the application a second input event having a phase field with a second phase value, the second input event corresponding to the user input being in contact with the touch-sensitive surface. The device displays, on the display, an update to the user interface for the application that is based at least in part on the first input event and the second input event.
