An Android library that adds swipe-back gesture navigation to activities, letting users close or navigate back by swiping from screen edges. Activities simply extend SwipeBackActivity and configure edge tracking modes.

Use cases

  • add swipe back gesture to android activities
  • close an activity by swiping from the left edge
  • implement ios-style back navigation on android
  • enable edge swipe gestures on any side of the screen
  • customize swipe-to-dismiss behavior in an android app

When to choose

  • you maintain a legacy Android app using the android-support-v4 library and want swipe-back navigation
  • you want a simple, battle-tested library with a one-line activity base class integration

When to avoid

  • you are starting a new project with AndroidX, where modern libraries or built-in predictive back gestures are better supported
  • you need actively maintained software with recent releases
