5. Opening and switching
applications
Multitasking is easy with Android
because you can keep more than
one application running at the same
time. There's no need to quit an
application before opening another.
Use and switch between several open
applications. Android manages each
application, stopping and starting
them as needed to ensure that idle
applications don't consume resources
unnecessarily.
Stopping applications
1
In the Home screen, touch the
Applications
tab then select
Settings
>
Applications

applications >
select
Running
.
2
Scroll to the desired application
and touch
Stop
to stop it.
TIP!
To return to recent applications,
press and hold the
Home
key.
The screen then displays a list of
applications you have recently used.
