Returning to recently-used applications
Multitasking is easy with Android; you can keep more than one application
running at the same time. There is no need to quit an application before
opening another. Use and switch between several open applications.
Android manages each application, stopping and starting them as needed
to make sure that idle applications don't consume resources unnecessarily.
