| <p>Efficient navigation is one of the cornerstones of a well-designed app. While apps are generally |
| built in a hierarchical fashion, there are instances where horizontal navigation can flatten |
| vertical hierarchies and make access to related data items faster and more enjoyable. Swipe views |
| allow the user to efficiently move from item to item using a simple gesture and thereby make |
| browsing and consuming data a more fluent experience.</p> |
| <h2>Swiping Between Detail Views</h2> |
| <p>An app's data is often organized in a master/detail relationship: The user can view a list of |
| related data items, such as images, chats, or emails, and then pick one of the items to see the |
| detail contents in a separate screen.</p> |
| |

| <div class="figure-caption"> |
| Master (left) and detail (right) views. |
| </div> |
| |
| <p>On a phone, since the master and detail are on separate screens, this typically requires the user to |
| jump back and forth between the list and the detail view, aka "pogo-sticking".</p> |
| <p>In cases where users will want to view multiple detail items in succession, avoid pogo-sticking by |
| using the swipe gesture to navigate to the next/previous detail view.</p> |

| <h2>Checklist</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <p>Use swipe to quickly navigate between detail views or tabs.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>Transition between the views as the user performs the swipe gesture. Do not wait for the |
| gesture to complete and then transition between views.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>If you used buttons in the past for previous/next navigation, replace them with |
| the swipe gesture.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>Consider adding contextual information in your detail view that informs the user about the |
| relative list position of the currently visible item.</p> |
