6. Opening and switching applications
Multi-tasking 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.
