Android™ Basics: Getting Around Your Phone
Move Around Your Phone’s Menus
and Screens Using Gestures
Your phone’s touchscreen lets you control
everything through various types of touches,
or gestures.
Touch: When you want to press onscreen buttons,
select items such as application and settings
icons, or type, simply touch the screen with your
finger. A light touch works best.
Touch and hold: To open the available options for
an item, simply touch and hold the item.
Drag: To scroll through a list or move slowly, drag
across the touchscreen horizontally or vertically.
For example, touch People and then drag the list
up or down.
Flick: To scroll quickly through a list, flick across
the touchscreen (drag quickly and release).
When you’re flicking through a long list, touch
the screen to stop scrolling.
Tip: When you drag or flick a list, a scroll bar
may appear. For example, in your contacts list,
drag the scroll bar to move quickly to a specific
letter (A-Z).
Zoom: “Pinch” the screen using your thumb
and forefinger to zoom out or zoom in when
viewing a picture or a Web page. (Move fingers
inward to zoom out and outward to zoom in.)
You can also double-touch the screen to zoom
in and then double-touch again to zoom out.
