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.
Tap: When you want to type using the onscreen
keyboard, select items such as application and
settings icons, or press onscreen buttons,
simply tap them with your finger. A light touch
works best.
Press and hold: To display the available options
for an item simply touch and hold the item.
Flick: Move your finger in lighter, quicker strokes
than swiping. This finger gesture is always used
in a vertical motion, such as when flicking
through contacts or a message list.
Swipe or slide: Quickly drag your finger
vertically or horizontally across the screen.
