Swipe gesture recognizer swift

Question

I have been looking on the internet for a few hours now on how to use the Swipe Gesture Recognizer. I do not want to code it, because I have tried nearly every single example and that doesn't work. However, I know that there is a Swipe Gesture Recognizer in the object library, but it doesn't seem to work. Can somebody please show me a link to a place where I can use the Swipe Gesture Recognizer from the Object Library or show me how to do it?

Thanks,

Ben

(If I am being to broad for some reason, or you don't like my question, please do not -1 this, just comment and I will make the change, please).

(Handle Swipes is the name of the function)

Here is the code:

import UIKit

class Alabama1: UIViewController { @IBOutlet weak var label: UILabel!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    let reveal = UISwipeGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: Selector("handleSwipes"))
    let next = UISwipeGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: Selector("handleSwipes"))

    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
    reveal.direction = .Up
    next.direction = .Left

    view.addGestureRecognizer(reveal)
    view.addGestureRecognizer(next)

}

override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
    super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

func handleSwipes(sender:UISwipeGestureRecognizer) {
    if (sender.direction == .Up) {
        label.text = "Motgomery"
    }

}





}

Answer 1

You are missing semicolumn in adding event. Try like so:

let reveal = UISwipeGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: Selector("handleSwipes:"))
let next = UISwipeGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: Selector("handleSwipes:"))

Answer 2

in swift3 Version :

   let leftSwipe = UISwipeGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(MainMenuViewController.handleSwipes(_sender:)))
