Using the touchscreen
The main way to control Android features is by using your finger to directly
manipulate icons, buttons, menu items, the onscreen keyboard, and other items on
the touchscreen. You can also change the screen’s orientation.
Touch
When you want to act on items on the screen, such as application and
settings icons, and when you want to type letters and symbols using the onscreen
keyboard, or press onscreen buttons, you simply touch them with your finger.
Touch & hold
You touch & hold an item on 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;
then you lift your finger.
Drag
Touch & hold an item for a moment and then without lifting your finger,
move your finger on the screen. Lift your finger when you reach the target position.
You drag items on the Home screen to reposition them (as described in
“Customizing the Home screen” on page 52 and you drag to open the Notifications
panel (as described in “Managing notifications” on page 46).
Swipe or slide
To swipe or slide means to quickly move your finger across the
surface of the screen, without pausing when you first touch it (so you don’t drag an
item instead). For example, you slide the screen up or down to scroll a list; you
more quickly swipe across the screen to change the range of time visible in some
Calendar views.
Double-tap
You double-tap, for example, by touching a section of a webpage
twice quickly in Browser, so the webpage zooms in and wraps the text in that
section to fit the width of the screen.
Rotate the screen
On most screens, the orientation of the screen rotates
with the phone as you turn it from upright to sideways, and back again. (You can
turn this feature on or off as described in “Sound & display settings” on page 262.)
