Swipe Left or Right in swift

Question

I have a page that retrieves data from the database to display info about the current info or previous or after

It goes that

if Status = 1 it shows the current
Status = 2 it shows previous
Status = 0 it shows next

What I did so far is display the current data and it shows perfectly I need to do a feature that when the user swipes right to left shows next and left to right shows previous

Any Idea or guideline just from where to start

Thank you

You said, "What I did so far is display the current data and it shows perfectly" are you showing the data on a view controller ? — iamyogish, Jun 16 '16 at 06:50

Then you could use UIPageViewController to achieve what you want. — iamyogish, Jun 16 '16 at 07:09

override func viewDidLoad()
{
super.viewDidLoad()

let swipeRight = UISwipeGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: "respondToSwipeGesture:")
    swipeRight.direction = UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirection.Right
    self.view.addGestureRecognizer(swipeRight)

    let swipeLeft = UISwipeGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: "respondToSwipeGesture:")
    swipeLeft.direction = UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirection.Left
    self.view.addGestureRecognizer(swipeLeft)

}


func respondToSwipeGesture(gesture: UIGestureRecognizer)
{
    if let swipeGesture = gesture as? UISwipeGestureRecognizer
    {
        switch swipeGesture.direction
        {
            case UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirection.Right:
                 //write your logic for right swipe
                  print("Swiped right")

            case UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirection.Left:
                 //write your logic for left swipe
                  print("Swiped left")

            default:
                break
        }
    }
}

In the example code above you could just use one gesture recognizer and set the direction as follows `swipeRight.direction = [UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirection.left, UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirection.right]` — leafcutter, Sep 22 '17 at 15:46

class WelcomeController: UIViewController, UIGestureRecognizerDelegate {

    @IBOutlet var backgroundView: UIView!
    
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        
        // Create left swipe gesture recognizer
        let leftSwipe = UISwipeGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(handleSwipe(_:)))
        leftSwipe.direction = .left
        backgroundView.addGestureRecognizer(leftSwipe)
        
        // Create right swipe gesture recognizer
        let rightSwipe = UISwipeGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(handleSwipe(_:)))
        rightSwipe.direction = .right
        backgroundView.addGestureRecognizer(rightSwipe)
        
    }
    
    @objc func handleSwipe(_ gestureRecognizer: UISwipeGestureRecognizer) {
        if gestureRecognizer.direction == .left {
            // Handle left swipe
        } else if gestureRecognizer.direction == .right {
            // Handle right swipe
        }
    }
