Add UIGestureRecognizer to swipe left to right right to left my views

Question

I have a UIStoryboard with different UIViewControllers, I would like to add another UIViewController (like a dashboard) that when the user swipe the ipad from left the dashboard will appear then when he swipe back the current view will be restored.

Is this possible? if yes any hint how to do it or any good tutorials for UIGestureRecognizer?

thank you.

Solution

UISwipeGestureRecognizer * swipeleft=[[UISwipeGestureRecognizer alloc]initWithTarget:self action:@selector(swipeleft:)];
swipeleft.direction=UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionLeft;
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:swipeleft];

// SwipeRight

UISwipeGestureRecognizer * swiperight=[[UISwipeGestureRecognizer alloc]initWithTarget:self action:@selector(swiperight:)];
swiperight.direction=UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionRight;
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:swiperight];

// Implement Gesture Methods

-(void)swipeleft:(UISwipeGestureRecognizer*)gestureRecognizer 
{
       //Do what you want here
}

-(void)swiperight:(UISwipeGestureRecognizer*)gestureRecognizer 
{
    //Do what you want here
}

Try this one.

Here is the swift version of above code.

Left Swipe

var swipeleft = UISwipeGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: Selector("swipeleft:"))
swipeleft.direction = .left
view.addGestureRecognizer(swipeleft)

Right Swipe

var swiperight = UISwipeGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: Selector("swiperight:"))
swiperight.direction = .right
view.addGestureRecognizer(swiperight)

Method implementation...

 @objc func swiperight(sender: UITapGestureRecognizer? = nil) {
        // Do what u want here
    }

 @objc func swipeleft(sender: UITapGestureRecognizer? = nil) {
        // Do what u want here
    }

[Jitendra]

didn't get your question exactly . You wanted to add animation while swiping ??

[Alok]

Sorry if i did not made myself clear , Here is My question "i want to add animation while swapping , like in many other application when we drag to right on the screen ,Active screen fades away and when swipe is complete it closes, and the bottom controller become active . now using the above code as soon as i start swipe it gets swiped instead of being smooth and slow ..

@ChaubeyJi Use UIPanGestureRecognizer instead of SwipeGesture.

How to use it in horizontal stackview by adding views runtime?

[Zennichimaro]

the moronic platform holder's documentation is so useless that after reading it so many times, I still can't figure out how to implement it and have to resort to googling and finally found the answer in stackoverflow

@Zennichimaro hope this answer helps.
