Detecting a Swipe Up or Swipe Down

spaffel · January 29, 2023, 5:31pm

Hello I am trying to detect if the user is swiping up or down. Is this somehow possible?

Not with Thunkable components. But possibly with JavaScript.

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.** I'd like to …be able to determine the direction/angle of a swipe on a mobile device. **Describe the solution you'd like** There should be an event block that says "When [swipe] is [up/down/left/right] do". This should be a standard block (not tied to the Canvas although perhaps there could be a Canvas equivalent; I don't want to have to add a Canvas to my project every time I want to detect a swipe). **Describe alternatives you've considered** Some really tricky finagling of Canvas pointer locations.... **Which platform are you asking for?** Thunkable X **Additional context**

The more comments they receive, the more likely they are to add this feature.
