Drag
Flick
Press and hold your finger with some pressure before you start
to drag. While dragging, don't release your finger until you have
reached the target position.
Flicking the screen is similar to swiping, except that
you need to swipe your finger in light, quicker strokes,
such as when moving right and left on the Home
screen, or flicking through a contacts or message list.
