29 The Basics
Touchscreen
Your touchscreen provides an excellent way to interact with and use your
Android™ phone. With the touch of your finger, you can download and use
available apps, make menu selections, and access data saved to your
phone.
The following terms are used for describing the different available actions
using the touchscreen:
Touch or tap A single finger touch selects items. For example, tap an
icon (e.g., an app, widget, or folder), tap words (e.g., menu selection or to
answer an on-screen question), or touch letters and numbers to type.
NOTE Don't press too hard on the touchscreen. It's sensitive enough to detect a light, firm tap.
Touch and hold Touch and hold an item on the screen by touching it and
not lifting your finger until an action occurs. For example, to open a
Context menu for editing a contact, touch and hold a contact entry until
the menu pops up.
Drag Touch and hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting your
finger, move your finger on the screen until you reach the target position.
For example, you can drag items on the Home screen to reposition them.
Swipe, slide, or flick Move your finger quickly across the surface of the
screen, without pausing when you first touch it (so you don’t drag an item
instead). For example, you can browse through the different Home
screens by swiping from left to right (and vise versa), slide the screen up
or down to scroll a list, or remove an app from the Recent apps screen by
flicking its graphic off the screen.
Double-tap Tap the screen twice quickly to zoom, highlight text, or turn
the screen on/off. For example, quickly double-tap a section of a web
page to zoom that section to fit the width of the screen and control the
zoom in Maps and in other apps. Double-tap a word to highlight it.
Double-tap can also activate the KnockON feature to turn the touchscreen
on or off.
NOTE The Accessibility settings shortcuts and Touch zoom accessibility features use a
triple-tap. Double-tap also activates a new event in the Calendar app.
