public class SwipeEvent extends TouchEvent
Represents a general swipe gesture event that occurs when a user performs a swipe motion on a touch-enabled device.

This event is fired when the user makes a rapid sliding gesture across a touch surface in any direction. It extends TouchEvent as it is part of the touch interaction framework and is dispatched to registered TouchListener instances for processing. This serves as a base class for directional swipe events like SwipeLeftEvent and SwipeRightEvent.

Features:

  • Detects swipe gestures on touch devices
  • Part of the touch event framework
  • Serves as base for directional swipe events
  • Integrates with the touch event listener pattern

Usage:


 // Create a general swipe event
 SwipeEvent event = new SwipeEvent();

 // Dispatch to a listener to handle swipe gestures
 event.dispatchTo(myTouchListener);

 // Common use case: implement carousel navigation
 public void onEvent(SwipeEvent event) {
     System.out.println("Swipe detected");
     handleSwipeGesture();
 }
