The Basics
Touchscreen
Your touchscreen provides an excellent way to interact with and use your
Android phone. With the touch of your finger, you can download and use
available applications, make menu selections, and access data saved to
your phone.
The following terms are used for describing the different available actions
using the touchscreen:
Touch
A single finger touch selects items. For example, touch an icon
(e.g., application or menu item), touch words (e.g., menu selection or to
answer onscreen question), or touch letters and numbers to type.
Touch and hold
Touch and hold an item on the screen by touching it and
not lifting your finger until an action occurs. For example, to open a pop-
up menu for customizing the Home screen, touch an empty area on the
Home screen until the menu pops up.
Drag
Touch and 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 can drag items on the Home screen to reposition them.
Swipe or slide
To swipe or slide, 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 can drag or slide the screen
up or down to scroll a list, or browse through the different Home screens
by swiping from left to right (and vice versa).
Home Screen Pane Indicator
The dots near the top of the screen indicate which Home screen pane you are viewing.
