Event Handling > Gesture Events
Gesture Events
jQuery Mobile offers us some gesture touch events that we can bind to any DOM element. The gesture events offered in jQuery Mobile 1.0 includes:
- tap
-
Executed after a quick touch on the screen.
- taphold
-
Executed when the user touches the screen and maintains it pressed for one second. Useful for showing contextual menus.
- swipeleft
-
Executed when the user swipes a finger from right to left.
- swiperight
-
Executed when the user swipes a finger from left to right.
The next example will bind a swiperight event to a page to go back:
$(document).bind("mobileinit", function() {
$("#page2").live("swiperight", goBackToPage1);
});
function goBackToPage1() {
$.mobile.changePage("#page1", { reverse: true });
$("#page2").unbind("swiperight", goBackToPage1);
}
