Touchscreen Navigation

The L55C is a touch-sensitive device which allows you to not only select an on-
screen option with a single touch, but to easily scroll through long lists. Simply
slide up and down through the display with your fingertip. Your touchscreen
provides an excellent way to interact with and use your Android phone. With the
touch of your finger, you can access available applications, make menu selections,
and access data saved to your device. The following terms are used for describing
the different available actions using the touchscreen:
Tap: A single finger tap selects items, links, shortcuts and letters on the on-
G
screen keyboard.
Touch and hold: Touch and hold an item on the screen by touching it and not
G
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
G
finger, move your finger on the screen until you reach the target position. You
can drag items on the Home screen to reposition them, as described in
Changing the Device's Wallpaper on page 43, or drag the Notifications Panel
open, as described in Using the Notifications Panel on page 22.
Swipe or slide: To swipe or slide, quickly move your finger across the surface
G
of the screen, without pausing when you first touch it (so you don't drag an
item instead). For example, you can slide the screen up or down to scroll
