What other designs are commonly used for managing selections on touch interfaces?

Default Android way: Long press the first item, long or short press (both work) all other items one by one

Default iOS way: Press the "Multi Select" button, select the items one by one

The Android but actually iOS way: Press overflow button, click multi select, select the items one by one

Solid Explorer way: Each item has a text part (e.g. filename) and an icon. Tap the text to open the item, press the icon to select it and start multi select http://youtu.be/oCNAUqj84Qs?t=3m5s

The checkbox way(for lack of imagination i'm going for this name :) Every item at all times has a empty checkbox in front of it, so you can use multi select right away

The Windows Phone way every item has a checkbox in front of it, but it's hidden. Click the invisible checkbox and the checkboxes become visible. http://youtu.be/wWS4XKVag8I?t=3m

Also, what a lost of Android apps have is the options "invert selection" "select all" "select none". Something that I often wanted is "select all untill", so you could easily select for example all files from A to F. Never seen anyone do that though...

which one would I select? I say if it is an Android app, use the Android way, if it's an iOS app or a webapp: use iOS way. If multi select is something that you often need to do for small groups, use the Solid Explorer way. In that case: Be sure to notify the user how it works.

Also, long press item after multi-selecting for options, long press icon after multi-selecting do use drag and drop. http://youtu.be/CiHY4z09vRs?t=3m5s
