Hi,

We have extensively used the Kendo Grid's current() function to get the current selected cell in the grid. It appears this field is always returning undefined when used in a touch enabled device (e.g. Notebooks with touch screen, Surface, Mobile Devices). We have tried this with various browsers including Chrome and Firefox. 
To reproduce the issue in Google Chrome, please follow the following steps:

Go to Developer Console
Go to Emulation Tab
Select Model: Notebook with touch 
Open the following link: http://jsbin.com/qivigoceva/1/edit?html,js,console,output
Select a cell in the grid. The console should show the reference to current cell. It will instead show undefined.

The current() function is extremely important to us as we need to get the cell reference. Currently many of our client's are having trouble due this issue. Please provide us a solution as soon as possible.

Hello Khalil,

This behavior is expected, as the keyboard navigation is not meant to be used on touch enabled devices, as there is no hardware keyboard present. I am afraid that currently there is no workaround for this behavior.

Hello Khalil,

If you want to get the currently selected element, you can use this.select() that will return the element that is selected in the change event handler.

Dear Kendo Team, 
this.select() will return the current select tr , but we need the current focused td in the selected row. We cant avoid row selection in this grid.

And also we are using devices(Laptop with touch) with keyboard (hardware) .

Hello Khalil,

I am afraid that this is not possible on touch devices. You can submit this as a feature request on UserVoice, so that it is considered for implementation in a future release.
