To customize gestures in AEM Forms app

In the AEM Forms app, the left swipe opens up a new task or Startpoint while right swipe does nothing. The following example provides steps to open up a new task or Startpoint on performing the right-swipe gestures in the AEM Forms app.

1. Open your project.

   • For iOS, open Capture.xcodeproj in Xcode
   • For Android, open the Android project in Eclipse.
   • For Windows, open MWSWindows.sln in Visual Studio.

2. Navigate to the views folder and open the task.js file for editing.

   • In Xcode, navigate to the Capture > www > wsmobile > js > runtime > views folder.
   • In Eclipse, navigate to the assets > www > wsmobile > js > runtime > views folder.
   • In Visual Studio, navigate to the MWSWindows > www > wsmobile > js > runtime > views folder.
   NOTE

   The task.js file contains the backbone view associated with each task or Startpoint listed in the task or Startpoint lists.

3. In the task.js file, search for the events property of the view.

   "EventName Selector": "Function"

     “swipe .taskOpenArea” : “onTaskClick”,

     “swipe .task-content” : “onTaskClick”,
