The Desktop
The Android desktop is composed of multiple home-screen panels .
You can customize the Android desktop to reflect your interests, and you can make it
as full and dynamic as you like.
When you power up your phone, you'll see the main homescreen panel . This panel
is typically centered, and you can access additional panels on either side of the main
one by swiping your finger left or right. What goes on the homescreens is up to you.
You can fill the space with any combination of
shortcuts , widgets , and folders .
As you'd expect, short-cuts are small icons that let you load apps or other functions
on your phone; they function much like the ones you see on a PC desktop. You can
set a shortcut to do anything from opening a program to linking to a specific Web
page to initiating a phone call.
To add a shortcut , simply press and hold your finger on any open space on your
home screen, and select Shortcuts from the resulting pop-up menu.
Widgets are dynamic programs that operate directly on your homescreen. They can
perform any number of functions-giving you the latest weather, for example, or
letting you play music from either your personal collection or from the Internet.
Should you want more, you can download additional widgets from the
Google Play
Store .
