Switching between and exiting
applications
Multi-tasking is easy with Android because open
applications keep running even when you open
another application. There is no need to quit an
application before opening another. Use and switch
among several open applications. Android manages
each application, stopping and starting them as
needed, to ensure that idle applications don’t
consume battery power unnecessarily.
Switching between applications
Touch and hold the Home Key . A list of
recently used applications will be displayed. Then tap
the application you want to access.
NOTE
Swipe an application preview on the recently used
apps screen to the left or right to remove it from the
list.
To stop/exit an application
1 From the Home screen, tap the Menu Key and
tap App settings and select the Running tab.
2 Tap the desired application and tap Stop to stop it.
Home screen
Simply swipe your finger to the left or right to view
the different Home screen canvases. You can also
customize each canvas with folders and widgets,
which are shortcuts to your favorite applications.
NOTE
On the Home screen, you can view quick keys at the
bottom of the screen. The quick keys provide easy,
one-touch access to the functions you use the most.
To add or remove an application to the quick keys
bar, touch and hold the desired application icon and
move it to or from the quick keys bar.
