This behavior can be seen at the website with the following url:
https://www.primefaces.org/primeng/#/menubar

Current behavior
The menus with a submenu does not show by touching them on my phone when using MenuBar and tieredMenu. But this is working for megamenu correctly.

Expected behavior
Touching menus with submenu has to show the submenu list.

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?
Important for screens that require touch.

Please tell us about your environment:
Android

• Angular version: 4.1.3

• PrimeNG version: 4.0.2

• Browser: Chrome

This issue actually is slightly different, as pointed out by @Venthe in the linked issue. AutoDisplay might work just fine (I've not really tested [autoDisplay]="true", but the desired effect in my case would be [autoDisplay]="false"). Sub-menus don't display at least with menu bars in android. I'm seeing the same behavior, where the main menu dropdown opens just fine, but sub-menus close since hovering doesn't exist and it sounds like the p-menubarsub (or MenubarSub) doesn't actually have the ability to not close when clicked. In fact, even if I'm not on a mobile device, the fact that when I click on an item with a submenu and it closes is actually aggravating. Including some logic to detect if the current item has sub-items when clicking and toggling the open state would be much more desirable than closing the entire menu system.

Could this issue be re-opened? Or should a new issue be added? Or is it not priority enough that it might make life easier to just fork and adjust it myself?
