Opening and Switching Applications

Multi-tasking is easy with AndroidTM because open applications keep running even when you open another application. There’s no need to quit an application before opening another. You can use and switch among several open applications. Android manages each application, stopping and starting them as needed to ensure that unused applications don’t waste your device's resources.

Opening an application

Open an application simply by touching its icon on the screen.

TIP! You can customize your Home screen with the application icons you use most often. Applications are located on the Launch screen, but you can copy any application icon to your Home screen for faster access. No matter where the icon is, on the Launch screen or your Home screen, just touch it to open and use it.
