Abstract

An application icon moving method and an electronic device, where after a first application is installed in the electronic device, the electronic device displays an interface including an icon of the first application, when receiving a second operation from a user on the icon of the first application, the electronic device displays a management menu around the icon of the first application, where the management menu includes one or more of an identifier of a sub-screen of a home screen of the electronic device or an identifier of a folder included in a sub-screen. The electronic device receives a third operation from the user on a first identifier included in the management menu, and move, in response to the third operation, the icon of the first application to a sub-screen or a folder corresponding to the first identifier.

Claims (50)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a display;

a memory configured to store one or more computer programs; and

a processor coupled to the display and the memory, wherein the one or more computer programs cause the processor to be configured to:

receive one or more user inputs for an application market of the electronic device;

display, using the display and in response to the one or more user inputs, a first user interface provided by the application market to download and install a first application, wherein the first user interface comprises a first button configured to receive a user operation and a first identifier to mark the first application;

receive a first user operation on the first button;

download and install the first application in response to the first user operation;

receive a second user operation during downloading or installing the first application;

display, using the display and in response to the second user operation, a second user interface of a second application, wherein the second application is not it the application market;

display, using the display, a first icon in a floating display manner on the second user interface after the first application is downloaded and installed, wherein the first icon indicates that the first application has been installed; and

receive a third user operation on the first icon; and

display, using the display and in response to the third user operation, a third user interface comprising a first window associated with the first icon, wherein the first window is not displayed on the display in a full screen.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein during downloading or installing the first application, a fourth user interface displayed on the display does not comprise the first icon.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first icon further indicates that the first application has been downloaded and installed.

4. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the first button comprises a text of install, wherein the second application is different from the first application, and wherein the second application comprises one of an application corresponding to a home screen or a third-party application.

5. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the first user interface further comprises a pentagram, a score reflecting a historical evaluation, and an application profile related to the first application, wherein the electronic device comprises a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a wearable device, an in-vehicle computer, an augmented reality device, or a virtual reality device, and wherein a difference between the third user interface and the second user interface is that the second user interface further comprises the first icon.

6. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein the first window comprises at least one icon, and wherein the at least one icon comprises a folder icon.

7. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein the first window comprises at least one icon associated with the home screen.

8. A method implemented by an electronic device comprising a display, wherein the method comprises:

receiving one or more user inputs for an application market of the electronic device;

displaying, in response to the one or more user inputs, a first user interface provided by the application market to download and install a first application, wherein the first user interface comprises a first button configured to receive a user operation and a first identifier to mark the first application;

receiving a first user operation on the first button;

downloading and installing the first application in response to the first user operation;

receiving a second user operation during downloading or installing the first application;

displaying, in response to a second user operation, a second user interface of a second application, wherein the second application is other than the application market;

displaying a first icon in a floating display manner on the second user interface after the first application is downloaded and installed, wherein the first icon indicates that the first application has been installed;

receiving a third user operation on the first icon; and

displaying, in response to the third user operation, a third user interface comprising a first window associated with the first icon, wherein the first window is not displayed on the display in a full screen.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein during downloading or installing the first application, a fourth user interface displayed on the display does not comprise the first icon.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the first icon further indicates that the first application has been downloaded and installed.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the first button comprises a text of install, wherein the second application is different from the first application, and wherein the second application comprises one of an application corresponding to a home screen or a third-party application.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the first user interface further comprises a pentagram, a score reflecting a historical evaluation, and an application profile related to the first application, wherein the electronic device comprises a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a wearable device, an in-vehicle computer, an augmented reality device, or a virtual reality device, and wherein a difference between the third user interface and the second user interface is that the second user interface further comprises the first icon.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the first window comprises at least one icon, and wherein the at least one icon comprises a folder icon.

14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the first window comprises at least one icon associated with the home screen.

15. A computer program product comprising computer-executable instructions stored on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that, when executed by a processor, cause an electronic device to:

receive one or more user inputs for an application market of the electronic device;

display, in response to the one or more user inputs, a first user interface provided by the application market to download and install a first application, wherein the first user interface comprises a first button configured to receive a user operation and a first identifier to mark the first application;

receive a first user operation on the first button;

download and install the first application in response to the first user operation;

receive a second user operation during downloading or installing the first application;

display, in response to the second user operation, a second user interface of a second application, wherein the second application is other than the application market;

display a first icon in a floating display manner on the second user interface after the first application is downloaded and installed, wherein the first icon indicates that the first application has been installed;

receive a third user operation on the first icon; and

display, in response to the third user operation, a third user interface comprising a first window associated with the first icon, wherein the first window is not displayed on the display in a full screen.

16. The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein during downloading or installing the first application, a fourth user interface displayed on the display does not comprise the floating-displayed first icon.

17. The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein the first icon further indicates that the first application has been downloaded and installed.

18. The computer program product of claim 17 , wherein the first button comprises a text of install, wherein the second application is different from the first application, and wherein the second application comprises one of an application corresponding to a home screen or a third-party application.
