You can navigate between applications using the navigation keys and the recently
used applications window, which lets you switch easily between all recently used
applications. The navigation keys are the Back key, the Home key, and the Recent
apps key. You can also pop open two applications on the screen at once using the
split screen mode, if the application supports multi-window function. Some
applications get closed when you press the Home key

open the application.
