Question

I want to preface this by saying I\'m completely new to mobile development, Xamarin, C#, .Net.

I\'m working on creating a mobile app using Xamarain Forms and have ru

Answer 1

Building off of @Ranjith Kumar's solution, I came up with the following:

public delegate void SwipedEventHandler(ISwipeListener sender, SwipedEventArgs e);

public class SwipedEventArgs : EventArgs
{
    readonly double _x;
    public double X => _x;

    readonly double _y;
    public double Y => _y;

    readonly View _view;
    public View View => _view;

    public SwipedEventArgs(View view, double x, double y)
    {
        _view = view;
        _x = x;
        _y = y;
    }
}

public interface ISwipeListener
{
    event SwipedEventHandler SwipedDown;

    event SwipedEventHandler SwipedLeft;

    event SwipedEventHandler SwipedNothing;

    event SwipedEventHandler SwipedRight;

    event SwipedEventHandler SwipedUp;

    double TotalX
    {
        get;
    }

    double TotalY
    {
        get;
    }
}

public class SwipeListener : PanGestureRecognizer, ISwipeListener
{
    public event SwipedEventHandler SwipedDown;

    public event SwipedEventHandler SwipedLeft;

    public event SwipedEventHandler SwipedNothing;

    public event SwipedEventHandler SwipedRight;

    public event SwipedEventHandler SwipedUp;

    double _totalX = 0, _totalY = 0;

    public double TotalX => _totalX;

    public double TotalY => _totalY;

    readonly View _view;

    public SwipeListener(View view) : base()
    {
        _view = view;
        _view.GestureRecognizers.Add(this);
        PanUpdated += OnPanUpdated;
    }

    void OnPanUpdated(object sender, PanUpdatedEventArgs e)
    {
        switch (e.StatusType)
        {
            case GestureStatus.Running:
                try
                {
                    _totalX = e.TotalX;
                    _totalY = e.TotalY;
                }
                catch (Exception exception)
                {
                    Debug.WriteLine(exception.Message);
                }
                break;

            case GestureStatus.Completed:
                if (_totalX < 0 && Math.Abs(_totalX) > Math.Abs(_totalY))
                {
                    OnSwipedLeft(_totalX, _totalY);
                }
                else if (_totalX > 0 && _totalX > Math.Abs(_totalY))
                {
                    OnSwipedRight(_totalX, _totalY);
                }
                else if (_totalY < 0 && Math.Abs(_totalY) > Math.Abs(_totalX))
                {
                    OnSwipedUp(_totalX, _totalY);
                }
                else if (_totalY > 0 && _totalY > Math.Abs(_totalX))
                {
                    OnSwipedDown(_totalX, _totalY);
                }
                else OnSwipedNothing(_totalX, _totalY);
                break;

        }
    }

    protected virtual void OnSwipedDown(double x, double y)
        => SwipedDown?.Invoke(this, new SwipedEventArgs(_view, x, y));

    protected virtual void OnSwipedLeft(double x, double y)
        => SwipedLeft?.Invoke(this, new SwipedEventArgs(_view, x, y));

    protected virtual void OnSwipedNothing(double x, double y)
        => SwipedNothing?.Invoke(this, new SwipedEventArgs(_view, x, y));

    protected virtual void OnSwipedRight(double x, double y)
        => SwipedRight?.Invoke(this, new SwipedEventArgs(_view, x, y));

    protected virtual void OnSwipedUp(double x, double y)
        => SwipedUp?.Invoke(this, new SwipedEventArgs(_view, x, y));
}

The downside is you can't do anything while the swipe is performed, only after.
