Using the Touchscreen
The main way to control Android features is by using your nger to manipulate icons,
buttons, menu items, the onscreen keyboard, and other items on the touch screen. You
can also change the screen’s orientation.
Touch
To act on items on the screen, such as application and settings
icons, to type letters and symbols using the onscreen keyboard, or
to press onscreen buttons, you simply touch them with your nger.
Touch & Hold
Touch & hold an item on the screen by touching it and not lifting
your nger until an action occurs. For example, to open a menu
for customizing the Home screen, you touch an empty area on the
Home screen until the menu opens.
Drag
Touch & hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting your
nger, move your nger on the screen until you reach the target
position. You can drag items on the Home screen to reposition
them, and drag to open the Notications panel.
Swipe or Slide
To swipe or slide, you quickly move your nger across the surface
of the screen, without pausing when you rst touch it (so you don’t
drag an item instead). For example, you slide the screen up or down
to scroll a list, and in some Calendar views you swipe quickly across
the screen to change the range of time visible.
