title: Xamarin Forms Swipe Left/Swipe Right Gestures
body: <p>I want to preface this by saying I'm completely new to mobile development, Xamarin, C#, .Net.</p>
  
  <p>I'm working on creating a mobile app using Xamarain Forms and have run into the problem of not having the swipe gesture available to me, at least according to the documentation I've seen. </p>
  
  <p>I found this site: <a href="http://arteksoftware.com/gesture-recognizers-with-xamarin-forms/" rel="noreferrer">http://arteksoftware.com/gesture-recognizers-with-xamarin-forms/</a></p>
  
  <p>This describes how to add some additional gestures for IOS/Android to be accessible in the context of the form.  Before I try to follow this, I wanted to see if anyone else has implemented swipe in a Xamarin Forms app and how they went about it.</p>
  
  <p>My goals are that there has to be a horizontal stack layout.  This layout contains 7 buttons, each button reflects a day in the current week.  Swiping left on the stack layout will change the button's text to the previous week.  Swiping right will change the button's text to the next week.</p>
  
  <p>So I'm also trying to use MVVM for this and XAML.  So is it possible for me to separate the swipe left and the swipe right action?  I want to use ICommand to pass a certain parameter to a function based on the direction of the swipe.</p>
  
  <p>Any examples of this or any advice would be greatly appreciated.</p>
