There's no equivalent to a Mouseover on touch screens (maybe one day we'll have a finger over? :P).

You should change your javascript implementation to expand the menu on something more universal like a click event instead if you want functionality across multiple devices.

There are no MouseOver behaviors in touchscreen devices.

Android/touch screen devices only handle clicks. You don't have anything to "hover" with (no cursor, at least).

As many pointed out

Maybe this article will help you out a bit:

It is a general overview that may come in handy.
