Method and system for managing and displaying application

An electronic device to control a user interface layer in an application, the electronic device comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor configured to:
• identify a plurality of user interface layers of the application, wherein each of the plurality of user interface layers correspond to a specific level on a hierarchical structure related to the plurality of user interface layers of the application,
• display, on a screen of the electronic device, a plurality of indicators corresponding to the plurality of user interface layers of the application
• and a first graphical element within a region of the plurality of indicators,
• in response to receiving an input on the graphical element, identify at least one indicator corresponding to the input on the graphical element from among the plurality of indicators,
• display, on the screen, the at least one indicator based on the hierarchical structure of the application,
• detect a gesture on a first indicator from among the plurality of indicators, and
• display, on the screen, a first user interface layer corresponding to the first indicator from among the plurality of layers in response to detecting the gesture,
• wherein the plurality of user interface layers comprise at least one interface layer which is currently displayed and at least one user interface layer previously displayed.
