The main way to control Android features is by using your finger to touch icons, buttons, menu
items, the onscreen keyboard, and other items on the touch screen.
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 finger.
Touch & hold:
Touch & hold an item on the screen by touching it and not lifting your
finger 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 finger, move
your finger on the screen until you reach the target position. You drag items on the
Home screen to reposition them and you drag to open the Notification panel.
Swipe or slide:
To swipe or slide, you quickly move your finger across the surface of
the screen, without pausing when you first touch (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.
Double-tap:
Tap quickly twice on a webpage, map, or other screen to zoom. For
example, you can double-tap a section of a webpage in Browser to zoom that section
to fit the width of the screen. You can also double-tap to control the Camera zoom, In
Maps, and in other applications, Double-tapping after pinching to zoom in some
applications, such as browser, reflows a column of text to fit the width of the screen.
Pinch:
In some applications (Such as Maps, Browser, and Gallery) you can zoom in
and out by placing two fingers on the screen at once and pinching them together (to
zoom out) or spreading them apart (to zoom in).
Rotate the screen:
On most screens, the orientation of the screen rotates with the
phone as you turn it from upright to its side and back again. You can turn this feature
on and off.
