Image Slider with touch gestures

Rakesh Pinnamaneni asked on February 18, 2015 17:25

Is there an image slider web part that supports touch screen, i.e., On a touch enabled device you can use your finger to swipe, or simply click and drag your mouse in a swiping motion and auto swipe after a set delay to advance the gallery featuring a Slide Show displaying images from any library in a site collection

Google and Try Royal Slider by Dmitry Semenov. I found it pretty powerful for a recent client I am implementing it for.

This would be a feature of the javascript library or plugin you use. I don't believe the out of the box content slider has this feature. But you might look into the BXSlider as it has these features is very easy to implement.

Thank you Brenden for your response. I am already using BXSlider in my application, wanted to see if someone has already implemented an image slider with touch screen gestures, as you said I will further look into javascript plugins to achieve this.

@Rakesh BXSlider has touch screen gestures already built in. Is there something else you need? Foundation and Bootstrap also have these features, although they are pretty heavy if all you're looking for is slider functionality.

If all you need is swipe support you can add it via jQuery mobile easy enough.

That said, I'm using Owl Carousel for my everyday carousel needs these days.
