An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a touch screen display, memory, and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the touch screen display and the memory, wherein the memory store one or more computer programs including computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the electronic device to detect a long press input in response to elapsing of a predetermined first touch time from a first touch for selecting an object displayed on the touch screen display, after the long press input is received, receive a drag signal indicating a move of the first touch in a certain direction, in case that the drag signal does not deviate from any of a drag movement time or a drag movement distance, maintain a selected object in a fixed state, and in case that the drag signal deviates from both the predetermined drag movement time and the drag movement distance, change the object selected by the first touch to a floating state from a time point of the deviation from both the predetermined drag movement time and the drag movement distance, and perform control such that a drag movement of the floating object starts in response to the drag signal.

Electronic device, and method for improving movement operation of object

According to an example embodiment, an electronic device outputs, on a second display screen, a page layout output on a first display screen along with another page layout grouped together with the page layout in response to a screen switch from the first display screen to the second display screen having a greater display area than a display area of the first display screen, and switches the grouped page layouts in response to a swipe input being detected.

Electronic device with variable display area and operation method thereof

An electronic device according to various embodiments of the disclosure comprises: a foldable housing, a flexible display, a communication circuit, a sensor module, a processor, and a memory. The memory can store instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to sense whether an event configured to display a user interface has occurred, identify an angle between a first housing and a second housing using the sensor module, determine, based on the identified angle, at least one area for displaying the user interface from among at least one edge area or folding area of the flexible display, and control the display to display the user interface in the determined at least one area.

Electronic device and method for providing notification thereof

An electronic device and method are disclosed. The device includes a foldable housing including a hinge connecting a first and second housing, a first bendable display, a second display oriented facing the first display, at least one sensor for detecting the bending, a memory and a processor. The processor implements the method, including: detecting bending by the sensor while displaying an application, determining to pre-generate another screen of the application based on the bending angle, pre-generating the second execution screen before the change in the angle is reaches a threshold value, and active a deactivated display and display the second execution screen on the activated display when the angle surpasses the predetermined threshold value.
