Android™ Basics: Getting Around Your Phone
Move Around Your Phone's Menus
and Screens Using Gestures
Your phone'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, options for a contact),
simply touch and hold the item.
Drag: To move items on your phone's
touchscreen, drag across the touchscreen
horizontally or vertically. For example, touch and
hold a widget on your Home screen and then
drag it to another area on the Home screen.

Flick: To scroll quickly through a list, flick across
the touchscreen (drag quickly and release). When
you're flicking through a long list, touch the
screen to stop scrolling.
Tip: When you drag or flick a list, a scroll bar may
appear. Drag the scroll bar to move quickly to a
specific letter (A-Z).
Pinch and Spread: "Pinch" the screen using your
thumb and forefinger to zoom out, or "spread" the
screen to zoom in when viewing a picture or a
Web page. (Move fingers inward to zoom out and
outward to zoom in.)
