The Mystery of Swiping

Hey all, I am almost done with my first app (checks for understanding and other helpful questions for teachers), but would really love to add a feature where the user can swipe through all the items I provide, rather than just listing them in a pdf page. I also think that would increase my chances of getting approved by Apple. I've done some google searches but just keep finding ways to enter code that swipes between pictures. Is this feature possible? Does anyone know how to enter this methods? Thanks in advance, happy Friday! Maggie

Try the Storybook Plugin. I know it has a swipe / page flip gesture built into it.

Hi and good luck with the submission. You could almost use the image gallery, that allows you to swipe through images with or without titles/description. Ps Cute lil puppy!

The swipe methods I used in the Storybook plugin are pretty easy to implement. But you would probably want to setup a simple plugin for yourself to use them. It would help to know what type of content you want to swipe between, and it gets easier if its all the same type of content \ ex: swiping from a single page PDF to other PDF's, etc.

If you want to swipe between a load of pdfs , look at this tutorial and add it to the pdf plugin .m file https://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?fid=70CDE4E619FB0498A9ABE72&tid=70CDE4E619FB0498A9ABE72
