The Basics
Opening and Switching Apps
Multi-tasking is easy with Android™ because you can use and switch
among several open apps. Android™ manages each app, stopping and
starting them as needed, to ensure that idle apps don’t consume resources
unnecessarily.
Opening an app
Open an app simply by tapping its icon on the screen.
TIP You can customize your Home screen with the app icons you use most often. Apps are
located on the Applications screen, but you can copy any app icon to your Home screen
for faster, more convenient access. No matter where the icon is, on the Applications
screen or your Home screen, just tap it to open and use it.
Opening multiple apps
1. Tap an app icon to open it.
2. Tap the Home Key
(in the Touch Keys bar).
NOTE If the app icon you want is on your Home screen, simply tap the icon to open and use it.
3. Tap the Apps icon (in the QuickTap bar).
4. Tap the Apps tab (if necessary), then tap the icon for the other app you
want to open.
Switching between multiple apps
1. Tap the Recent Apps Key (in the Touch Keys bar). A screen opens
and displays a scrolling list of all of the apps that are currently open.
2. Tap the app you want to use or tap the Back Key
(in the Touch Keys
bar) to return to the current screen.
Tap an app to use it.
Flick an app icon to the right or left to
close the app and remove it from the list.
Swipe up or down to
view the entire list of
open apps.
