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.

Answer 1

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
    }
