B4A Library [B4X] [XUI] AS Swipe Card - a tinder like swipeable card view [Payware]

Hello Community,

This library is not free, because, it cost a lot of time and gray hair to create such views.
Donations from 7€ are valid. (You can donate any amount you want )
Please write SwipeCard in the order description, thanks.

Thanks for your understanding.

This library is compatible and tested with B4A,B4I and B4J!
If you have bugs or a wish then tell me it in the comments.

Features

• cross-platform compatible
• enable or disable events
• add and remove cards
• scroll to cards
• animations
• swipe with fingers
• and more...

On B4J and B4I you need a base panel, only this way the events can be triggered by your other control elements, see the example projects to learn more.

How can I fix the size of ASSwipeCard1.CardBackground ?

How can I fix the size of ASSwipeCard1.CardBackground ?

i'm lost, last time i used the iamir_glide i used the hosted builder and I was wondering why I can't compile...

How can I fix the size of ASSwipeCard1.CardBackground ?

by using this, a sleep:

    Sleep(250)
    ASSwipeCard1.IniParent(xpnl_swipecard_background)

because the layout is resizing with a animation if you start the page...
It is not without reason that i have built a sleep into the example project at the beginning.

The view looks nice with the images.

No, not without losing the touch gestures.

2-is it possible show icon or paint xpnl_cardbase (red /green) during swipe event

The " SwipeStateChanged" is triggered when you swipes or returns to the neutral position.

Hi

Can one swipe the cards randomly depending on a timer? For example, id like to use them on my main activity as soon as it starts and they can just play a loop.

Thanks.

you can set the CurrentIndex, example:

ASSwipeCard1.CurrentIndex = Rnd(0,ASSwipeCard1.Size -1)

 

[Drago Bratko]

Then I change it so that the cards are not automatically increased or decreased and the user has to do this himself in the event.

Was that feature implemented? Can I increment / decrement on my own based on swipe direction ?

No, read the text below, it says why.

 

[Drago Bratko]

No, read the text below, it says why.

Yes, that's true in scenario when control is used to 'remove' the card from the list.

In my case, I have bunch of cards, and swipe left moves to the previous card (if on the first, go to last) and swipe right moves to next card (if on last, move to the first).
What do you suggest, how can I implement that?

Private Sub ASSwipeCard1_SwipeStateChanged(state As Int)
    If state = ASSwipeCard1.SwipeState_LEFT Then
        ASSwipeCard1.CurrentIndex = ASSwipeCard1.CurrentIndex +1
    End If
End Sub

-SwipeStateChanged - Triggers only when the user has released the card

-SwipeStateChanged - Triggers only when the user has released the card

You are more than great! Thank you.

Now, only issue which I see is when I slide to right (so I go one card back), then first is shown next card for a split of a second, and then it's replaced with previous one.
Any idea how to handle that?
