With Android you can install applications that allow you to start any app at any time by making a gesture with your finger on the screen. Since someone might find it uncomfortable the idea of having to remember the right drawing to trace with the finger to call up a certain app, to have an always available application launcher that can be called up at any time on the screen, you can install Swapps, a tool for Android phones and tablets almost obliged to install.
Who owns a Samsung Galaxy, a Nexus, an HTC or another device model with Android operating system, can install the free application Swapps to have a pop-up menu from which to launch the favorite applications and the apps used last .

1) Swapps is a launcher for Android that works in the background under the system and which does not replace the main system launcher, but integrates into it disappearing.
The difference between the default recent application launcher and Swapps is that this can be customized and launched even without leaving the app you are in.
After installing Swapps from the Google Play Store, you can start it and immediately open the configuration panel.
On the left side of the screen you will see a green line which is where you can swipe your finger to the right to see the launch menu appear.
You can change the area of the activation point by changing the values in the app settings: more or less wide, more or less high, position on the right or left.
If you want to move the point from the center up or down, simply touch the ActiveSpot Gravity icon and select the desired option.
After configuring the activation point, you can test it by swiping your finger from left to right starting from the left side of the screen.
The sidebar will open from the edge divided into three parts: favorites, recently used and all applications .
The first section, that of favorite apps, allows you to add 3 predefined applications that are often accessed.
The number can always be increased, decreased or even completely removed using Swapps settings.
To add an application, simply tap the Add App button in the sidebar.
The second section is that of the 5 recently used applications .
To close the sidebar you can touch anywhere on the screen or touch where Close Drawer is written at the top of the bar.
If you are looking for an application that expands the multitasking capability of the Android phone, Swapps is one of the most handy applications that can be found, preferable to the native function of recent applications because it is more customizable.
