Opening and Switching Applications
Multi-tasking is easy with Android
™
. Opened applications can
keep running in the background when you open another
application. There’s no need to quit an application before
opening another. You can easily switch among several open
applications. Android manages each application, pausing and
starting them as needed to ensure that unused applications don’t
waste your device's resources.
To open an application:
●
Simply tap its icon on the screen.
Note
You can customize your Home screen with shortcuts to the applications
you use most often. Applications are located on the Applications screen,
but you can add an application shortcut to your Home screen for faster
access. No matter where the icon is, on the Applications screen or your
Home screen, just touch it to open and use it. See Adding Application
Icons to the Homescreen on page 35 for more information.
Note
The Applications screen closes automatically when you tap an icon to
open its Application. Dragging an icon onto your Home screen also closes
the Applications screen automatically.
