Gesture help
If the desktop is not in full screen mode, a toolbar appears on the right side of the menu bar at the top of the
screen.
For View Client for Android 1.3 through 1.7, the radial menu is not available. Instead a toolbar appears on
the right side of the action bar at the top of the screen.
For View Client for Android 1.2, you can display the toolbar by tapping the grid icon in the status bar at the
bottom of the screen.
Onscreen Keyboard
The onscreen keyboard in a remote desktop has more keys than the standard onscreen keyboard. For
example, Control keys and function keys are available. To display the onscreen keyboard, tap the screen
with three fingers at the same time or tap the Keyboard button.
If you are not using full screen mode, this button is on the Horizon View Client toolbar. If you are using full
screen mode, tap the Horizon View Client Tools icon and tap the keyboard icon. For pictures of the icons,
see the table at the beginning of this topic.
IMPORTANT If you use View Client 1.5 or later with an Horizon View 5.1 desktop, you can also use the
feature that displays the onscreen keyboard whenever you tap a text field, such as in a note or new contact.
If you then tap in an area that is not a text field, the keyboard is dismissed.
To turn this feature on or off, use the Horizon View Client tools to display the General settings list, and set
the Keyboard Popup and Keyboard Dismiss options. If you are not using full screen mode, the Settings
button is in the upper-right corner of the screen. If you are using full screen mode, tap the
Horizon View Client Tools icon and tap the settings icon. For pictures of the icons used in full screen mode,
see the table at the beginning of this topic.
NOTE On Kindle Fire tablets, tapping with three fingers does not display the onscreen keyboard. You can
instead use the Keyboard icon in the Horizon View Client toolbar to display the onscreen keyboard.
