The Basics
Using the Touchscreen
Your touchscreen provides an excellent way to interact with and use your
Android™ device. With the touch of your finger, you can download and use
available applications, make menu selections, and access data saved to
your tablet.
The following terms are used for describing the different available gestures
using the touchscreen:
Tap or touch
A single finger tap selects items, links, shortcuts, and letters on the
on-screen keyboard.
NOTES • To select an item, tap the center of the icon, being careful not to touch any other icons.
• Use the tip of your finger to touch the option you want, but don't press too hard; the
touchscreen is sensitive enough to pick up a light, yet firm touch.
Touch and hold
Touch and hold an item on the screen by touching it and not lifting your
finger until an action occurs. For example, to open a contact’s available
options, touch and hold the contact in the Contacts list until the Context
menu opens.
Drag
Touch and hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting your finger,
move your finger on the screen until you reach the target position. For
example, you can drag items on the Home screen to reposition them.
Swipe, slide, or flick
Move your finger quickly across the surface of the screen, without pausing
when you first touch it (so you don’t drag an item instead). For example,
you can browse through the different Home screen canvases by swiping to
the left or right, slide the screen up or down to scroll through a list, or
remove an application from the Recent Apps screen by flicking its graphic
off the screen.
