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 hurts 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.

Slide or Flick: To slide, quickly move your finger
vertically or horizontally across the screen. To flick,
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.)

Rotate: For most screens, you can automatically
change the screen orientation from portrait to
landscape by turning the device sideways. When
entering text, you can turn the device sideways to
bring up a bigger keyboard.

Note: The Auto-rotate screen check box in

Home > Menu >

System settings > Display needs to be
selected for the screen orientation to
automatically change.

customize your device and put the things you need
front and center, just a swipe away.

from any screen.

right. There are two additional screens on each
