Android™ Basics: Getting Around Your Device
Move Around Your Device's Menus
and Screens Using Gestures
Your device's touchscreen lets you control
everything through various types of touches, or
gestures.
Touch: When you want to press onscreen
buttons, select items such as application and
settings icons, or type, simply touch the screen
with your finger. A light touch works best.
Touch and hold: To open the available options for
an item (for example, a link in a Web page), touch
and hold the item.
Swipe or Slide: To swipe or slide means to
quickly drag your finger vertically or horizontally
across the screen.

Drag: To drag, press and hold your finger with
some pressure before you start to move your
finger. While dragging, do not release your finger
until you have reached the target position.
Flick: Flicking the screen is similar to swiping,
except that you need to swipe your finger in light,
quick strokes. This finger gesture is always in a
vertical direction, such as when flicking the
message list.
Rotate: For most screens, you can automatically
change the screen orientation from portrait to
landscape by turning the device sideways. When
entering text, you can turn the device sideways to
bring up a bigger keyboard. See "Using the
Onscreen Keyboard" for more details.
Note: To enable or disable automatic rotation,
touch Home > Apps> Settings > Screen
and touch the check box to toggle the option.
