45 The Basics
Opening and Switching Applications
Multi-tasking is easy with Android TM because open applications keep
running even when you open another application. There’s no need to quit
an application before opening another. You can use and switch among
several open applications. Android manages each application, stopping
and starting them as needed, to ensure that idle applications don’t
consume resources unnecessarily.
Opening an application
