Unable to select items for dragging on touch screen

[Former user]

The initial implementation to move list items in the console used a short touch on a line to select it for dragging which caused the swipe action to scroll the list to fail. The second implementation moved the touch area to a drag handle on list items but due to the small target area it fails to select them. As suggested in http://forum.serviio.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=21407#p106218 it seems the correct implementation should be the same as the initial but with a long touch anywhere on the target line just like Google Music, which then allows the swipe to scroll the list as well.

@jhb50 is the referenced Google music a web app on a native Android app?

On the PC it is a web app. On mobile it is an app. However if I run mobile as a desktop and use the web app, I see the drags are disabled/absent. I only referenced it as an example of a working implementation. I believe your first beta failed only because the select was not a long press and so got recognized as a swipe. It's worth trying a long press to see if that fixes it otherwise suggest you just disable drag on mobile.

Long click is not possible on the web. Will leave it as it is for now.

In the absence of long click could you simply move the up down arrows further to the left and separate them more so that they are separated enough that a touch will correctly activate them? This will at least make the moving of entries functional in landscape mode, if you cannot display the arrows in portrait mode as well.
