How to calculate dividends through yield %?

I have the iphone 4s and i use the stock app all the time. I got this yield %, so i'm pretty this means that i'm getting this % much per share right? If not can you tell how to calculate dividends through yield % thanks.

Its the same thing its just the percentage and not the dollar amount per share. Its all calculated on a yearly basis and assumes the dividend will remain the same that whole year. So take the current share price and multiply it by 0.04 as an example that would be 4 percent yield.
