Swipe Left/Right to Navigate Between Conversations

[SevenFactors]

[Feature Request]

Being able to navigate between conversations by simply swiping Left or Right would be a killer feature for TextSecure, one that I can't wait to see implemented.

Not having to navigate back to the conversation list to find/choose said conversation would greatly improve the TextSecure messaging experience.

What do you say ^_^

Although i also like that feature it becomes annoying as soon as you have more than 5 conversations going where you have to swipe and swipe and swipe until you are at the desired conversation. It also breaks consistency with the current UX, imho.

I've had a great experience with this ability in Xabber & Gmail app. It is very nice to be able to just swipe right/left to view the newly received SMS on that other thread, reply and then swipe left/right to get back to your ongoing-WORK group chat. Also, this will make it easy interact with the most active conversations, all a swipe away.

The ability to swipe right/left to navigate among conversations isn't a must feature for text secure, but one that if implemented will enrich the in app UI navigation.

I also want this feature and I'm thinking I might implement it myself. I see however that there is someone assigned, how does that work? Are you working on it mcginty?

@toffe I believe you need to be part of at least the TextSecure project.

I did not know that someone had been assigned to this ticket. ^_^ At the same time is good to see more interest on this feature. Hope is good.

Coding is not my strong suit but I am willing to test builts, etc.

According to the Github page @mcginty is assigned, but I think he only manages the ticket.
Maybe he can reply :) So you can start implementing 👍

Instead of swipe left/right to navigate between conversations, I'd simply like to be able to swipe right while in a conversation to get back to the conversation list. As it is now, I have to tap the nav back button or reach all the way to top left and tap the back arrow.

Being able to quickly go in and out of conversations by tapping to get in and swiping right to get out would greatly improve the experience.

That is also a good idea.

IMHO it's better to make a swipe to the right to get back to the conversation list, just like Telegram does it

This way it does not get "messy" with multiple conversations "opened", and it wont need any additional indicators how many/which conversations are open.
