Swipe up and down

[Phil_B]

Hello @all

first of all, sorry for my bad english.

I am new with the Sencha framework and i have a question about swipe events.
Is it possible to detect a swipe event in 'up' or 'down' direction?

Best regards

Welcome Phil. I am just getting started with it too, but it has been a fun learning process so far. Are you trying to scroll some content vertically, or do you want to create a custom behavior for those gestures? If you are trying to scroll something, you can add scroll:'vertical' like it says here: http://dev.sencha.com/deploy/touch/docs/?class=Ext.lib.Panel

If you are trying to do some fancy custom behaviors, an experienced user/developer will have to chime in because I've got no idea.

Hello

No, i don´t want to scroll some content. I started to create a webapp in which a user can navigate without use of buttons/lists.
Users should navigate via tabbar to different parts of the app. In each part the user can navigate via the swipe events "up" (go to next page 'vertical'), "down" (go to last page 'vertical'), "left" and "right" (go to next/last page 'horizontal').
I´ve tried it with my own solution for swipe-detecting but i think it was not the best solution for this problem.

VinylFox told me that i can try this code to detect swipe in "up" direction:



blah.on('swipe', function(ev) {
if (ev.direction == "up") {
//do something
}
});
But in the souce-code of sencha (swipe.js) i can´t find any advice to this solution. :-/

Does it work?

It sounds like what you're describing is a Carousel, which is a built-in component that will handle the swipe detection and navigation for you.
