Question 1

How to add Swipper to an Android project?

Accepted Answer

Add the dependency 'com.swipper.library:library:0.1.1' to your app's build.gradle, then extend your activity with Swipper and call setup methods like Brightness() in onCreate().

Question 2

Can I use Swipper with Kotlin?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Swipper is a Java library but is interoperable with Kotlin; you'll need to adapt the syntax, such as using object references for MediaPlayer in Seek().

Question 3

Swipper vs Android's built-in GestureDetector for controls?

Accepted Answer

Swipper provides pre-built views for common controls, saving time, but if you need custom gestures or finer control, implementing GestureDetector from scratch might be better.

Question 4

How to change the color of the swipe indicator?

Accepted Answer

Use the setColor() method with a hex color string to customize the indicator color; for example, setColor("#FF5733") changes it from the default orange.

Question 5

Is Swipper compatible with ExoPlayer for media seeking?

Accepted Answer

No, the Seek() method currently only supports VideoView or MediaPlayer, so you'd need to adapt the library or use workarounds for ExoPlayer integration.

Question 6

How to disable brightness control dynamically in Swipper?

Accepted Answer

Call the disableBrightness() method to turn off brightness control, and use enableBrightness() to re-enable it later, as per the README's method table.
