What's the best way to develop a sideswipe menu like the one in Facebook's new iOS app?
It appears that side-swipe menus are becoming a more common interface element as more information gets crammed into each iPhone app. Facebook has included it in their latest version and the new Gmail app appears to include it as well. I was wondering if anybody had thoughts on the most efficient way of developing something like this as it's becoming a more common interface element. While I have my own thoughts on how to build this, I'm curious to hear what other people think.
Answer
There is a great library for this by Tom Adriaenssen: Inferis/ViewDeck
It's very easy to use and has a fairly large following.
EDIT:
For something a little more lightweight, check out: mutualmobile/MMDrawerController
It doesn't have all of the features of ViewDeck but is simpler to modify and extend.
