Touchscreen

Your touchscreen provides an excellent way to interact with and use your Android phone. With the touch of your finger, you can download and use available applications, make menu selections, and access data saved to your phone.

The following terms are used for describing the different available actions using the touchscreen:

Touch A single finger touch selects items. For example, touch an icon (e.g., application or menu item), touch words (e.g., menu selection or to answer onscreen question), or touch letters and numbers to type.

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 pop- up menu for customizing the Home screen, touch an empty area on the Home screen until the menu pops up.

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. You can drag items on the Home screen to reposition them.

Swipe or slide To swipe or slide, quickly move your finger 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 drag or slide the screen up or down to scroll a list, or browse through the different Home screens by swiping from left to right (and vice versa).
