Chen’s been busy with some customers on a feature that is often requested:
mailbox
like swipes. This effectively allows you to swipe a component to the side in order to reveal capabilities underneath e.g. edit, delete etc.
Using this capability is really trivial just use something like a a MultiButton and place it in a SwipeableContainer with the bottom Container which includes the various actions as such:
SwipeableContainer swip = new SwipeableContainer(bottom, top);
You then add the swipeable container probably into a BoxLayout Y container such as in this case, see the demo video below.

Nice feature, I was looking for this feature for awhile 🙂
However from the video it looks like you need to swipe from left, to right.. But IOS 7 is default swipe from right to left, is it possible to change direction 🙂 ?

You can swipe in both directions, it was added after Chen made the video.

Perfect timing. We have a need for something like this to support an app feature currently in our dev queue. This will allow us to get the feature done a little quicker – thanks!

This won’t work on a List because of the way the list is built.

I have Netbeans 8.0.2 and codename one plugin 1.0.80 but Netbeans does not recognize the SwipeableContainer. Even if I copy-paste the code and fix the imports. Do I need to manually update to get the feature?

Go to the project properties in the Codename One section and press the update client libraries button.

Thanks for the reply. I misunderstood the instructions at first. I only right-clicked the project and selected Refresh libs. I now understand that applies to downloaded CN1 libs.
