switching view controllers using swipe gestures

Question

Okay so here is the problem I'm running into:

I am attempting to switch from one viewController that I named MenuViewController which contains my menu (obviously). I have a separate viewController named ViewController that contains my mapView. I would like to be able to double finger swipe left from my MenuViewController over to my mapView.

I'm not exactly sure where to start.

Also, I am using xib files, and not the storyboard. Running iOS 6.

Answer 1

UISwipeGestureRecognizer *swipeLeftGesture=[[UISwipeGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleSwipeGesture:)];
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:swipeLeftGesture];
swipeLeftGesture.direction=UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionLeft;

-(void)handleSwipeGesture:(UIGestureRecognizer *) sender
{
    NSUInteger touches = sender.numberOfTouches;
    if (touches == 2)
    {
        if (sender.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded)
        { 
            //Add view controller here    
        }
    }  
}

Answer 2

once go through this,

UISwipeGestureRecognizer  *swipeLeft = [[UISwipeGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleleftSwipe:)];
swipeLeft.numberOfTouchesRequired = 1;//give required num of touches here ..
swipeLeft.direction = UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionLeft;
swipeLeft.delegate = (id)self;
[self. view addGestureRecognizer:swipeLeft];

UISwipeGestureRecognizer  *swipeRight = [[UISwipeGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handlerightSwipe:)];
swipeRight.numberOfTouchesRequired = 1;//give required num of touches here ..
swipeRight.delegate = (id)self;
swipeRight.direction = UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionRight;
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:swipeRight];

now define swipe methods like below:

 -(void)handleleftSwipe:(UISwipeGestureRecognizer *)recognizer{
//Do ur code for Push/pop..
  }
-(void)handlerightSwipe:(UISwipeGestureRecognizer *)recognizer{
 //Do ur code for Push/pop..
  }

Hope it helps you...
