It appears highlighted, is adorned with a tiny check mark, or features a filled-in circle. An action bar appears atop the screen, like the one shown in Figure 3-1. It lists icons such as Share and Delete, which manipulate the group of selected items.

2 Tap additional items to select them.The action bar lists the total number of selected items, as illustrated in Figure 3-1.FIGURE 3-1: A typical action bar
