Using the Touch Screen
The main way to control Android features is by using your finger to touch icons, buttons,
menu items, the onscreen keyboard, and other items on the touch screen.
Click: To act on items on the screen, such as application and settings icons, to type letters
and symbols using the onscreen keyboard, or to press onscreen buttons, you simply
touch them with your finger.
Click & Hold: Click & hold an item on the screen by touching it and not lifting your finger
until an action occurs. For example, to open a menu for customizing the Home screen,
you touch an empty area on the Home screen until the menu opens.
Drag: Touch & 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 drag items on the Home
screen to reposition them and you drag to open the Notification panel.
Swipe or Slide: To swipe or slide, you quickly move your finger across the surface of the
screen, without pausing when you first touch (so you don’t drag an item instead). For
example, you slide the screen up or down to scroll a list, and in some Calendar views you
swipe quickly across the screen to change the range of time visible.
Double-Tap: Tap quickly twice on a webpage, map, or other screen to zoom. You may
double-tap a section of a webpage in Browser to zoom that section to fit the width of the
screen. You may also double-tap to control the Camera zoom, In Maps, and in other
applications, Double-tapping after pinching to zoom in some applications, such as browser,
reorganizes a column of text to fit the width of the screen.
Pinch: In some applications (Such as Maps, Browser, and Gallery) you may zoom in and
out by placing two fingers on the screen at once and pinching them together (to zoom out)
or spreading them apart (to zoom in).
Rotate the screen: On most screens, the orientation of the screen rotates with the phone
as you turn it from upright to its slide and back again. You may turn this feature on and off.
