The Basics

Opening and Switching Applications

Multi-tasking is easy with Android

TM

because open applications keep running

even when you open another application. There’s no need to quit an application
before opening another. You can use and switch among several open
applications. Android manages each application, stopping and starting them as
needed, to ensure that idle applications don’t consume resources unnecessarily.

Opening an application

# Open an application simply by touching its icon on the screen.

TIP!

You can customize your Home screen with the application icons you use most often.

Applications are located on the Apps screen, but you can copy any application icon to

your Home screen for faster access. No matter where the icon is, on the Apps screen or

your Home screen, just touch it to open and use it.

Opening multiple applications

NOTE

If the application icon you want is on your Home screen, simply touch the icon to open

and use it.

3. Touch the Apps Key
