Overview
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 27 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.
