Android - How To Build A 2d Dimension Gallery With Vertical And Horizontal Swiping

I want to build a custom gallery. a 2d Dimension gallery , user can swiping page vertical and horizontal. i store information like a 2d map, each page have its x and y coordinate.

Solution 1:

It is very hard to give an answer for this - you mention no programming language nor more specifics of what it is you want to do.

I guess it depends on where you want this gallery - one solution could be to make it webbased - while this is a sidescroller and I am planning to use the top buttons to change the page you should think about it...

It is a rough prototype - scrolling sideways on the Android with buttons following top and bottom.

I am not sure how you'd go about the automatic changing of pages whether you should create a button boundry, or set some sort of a listener that follows the x,y coordinates in the visible viewport and set event listeners that are triggered when the visible area reaches specific coordinates, use a different layout than me off course - but it all depends on the programming language - the example is plain old HTML but you get the idea, and the listener thing for x/y in visible viewport should be valid for most modern programming languages.
