Android™ Basics

Learn some basics about how to move around on
your device, use the Home screen, and enter text. If
you’re familiar with Android devices, you can
probably skip these pages (although a refresher
course never hurt anyone).

Move Around Your Device’s Menus
and Screens Using Gestures

Your device’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 (for example, options for a contact), simply
touch and hold the item.

Drag: Touch and hold your finger before you start to
move it. Do not release your finger until you have
reached the target position.

move your finger in lighter, quicker strokes than
sliding. When you’re flicking through a long list,
touch the screen to stop scrolling.

Pinch and Spread: Pinch the screen using your
thumb and forefinger to zoom out or spread the
screen to zoom in when viewing a picture or a Web
page. (Move fingers inward to zoom out and
outward to zoom in.)

change the screen orientation from portrait to
landscape by turning the device sideways. When

bring up a bigger keyboard.
