[AI] Using gestures in Android

2012-10-09 Thread Kotian, H P
Hi
In android, the navigation is primarily by touch / gestures.

I have listed some of them, which will help in quickly learn it.

Accessibility gestures for Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) When Talkback and explore 
by Touch are turned on, you can use simple gestures to navigate your Nexus 7:

•Drag one finger. Explore your screen and hear audible feedback for what is 
being touched.
•Double-tap anywhere on the screen. Opens or activates the item that you last 
touched.
•Swipe up or down using two fingers. Scroll within lists.
•Swipe left or right using two fingers. Change pages and screens.
•Swipe right (or down) using one finger. Move to the next item.
•Swipe left (or up) using one finger. Move to the previous item.
•Swipe down then up using a single motion. Transition to the next reading level 
when reading blocks of text, then swipe right to read forward or left to go 
back.
•Swipe up then down using a single motion. Transition to the previous reading 
level when reading blocks of text, then swipe right to read forward or left to 
go back.
•Swipe right then left using a single motion. Move to the next page.
•Swipe left then right using a single motion. Move to the previous page.
While you’re exploring with one finger, you can use another finger to 
double-tap to open an app, widget, and so on.

IMPORTANT: The way these gestures are interpreted is specific to TalkBack. 
Other accessibility services may use the same gestures for different actions.
Shortcut gestures in TalkBack
Note: These gestures work only when Explore by Touch is turned on.

TalkBack has shortcut gestures to help you get to your Home screen, go back, 
and more. To try these shortcuts, swipe using a single motion:

•Up then right: Open notifications
•Up then left: Home button
•Down then right: Recent apps button
•Down then left: Back button
You can modify your shortcut gestures and the corresponding actions in TalkBack 
by going to Settings  Accessibility  TalkBack  Settings  Manage shortcut 
gestures.

Hi

What is most important to us to eat the cake and not be bothered how it is made.

Some android users were not aware of how to use these gestures and hence I 
posted for their convenience.
