Strictly speaking Cinder does not have gesture recognizers for touch devices.

However, for iOS there is this handy [block](https://github.com/FictionIO/Cinder-CocoaTouchGestures-Block)

Is there something similar for android?

If not, what shall I look into?

At the moment I need simple swipe left and right gestures.

Thanks.

If that’s all you need, just write them yourself. They’re the least taxing of the common gestures to get right.
