Simple Android Swipe with sound app

I'm wanting to build a simple app for my son where he just swipes through pages. Each page will just be an image and then play a sound file. Basically like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lockeandev.ThingsThatGoFree&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5sb2NrZWFuZGV2LlRoaW5nc1RoYXRHb0ZyZWUiXQ..

I've found some great code example with swipe, but most of them are all swiping through images. I started to create one but it was going to require a .java file for each page, plus a lot of loops to check what page it's on to determine what should be displayed next. I'm assuming there's a more efficient way to do this. Anyone have any code examples or keywords that I should be searching for in the Android documentation? thanks.

I wonder if a simple Gallery would work? You could configure it to fill the screen and then override the onFling() method to control the flow of the images and possibly play a sound with a MediaPlayer.

If this isn't what you want then I'd be more than happy to go over some other ideas.

This is off topic to the discussion but I noticed Andrew's link on the first post has a bad word-wrap on Firefox version 17. A word break on the question CSS class should fix that up.

Thanks for sharing this information guys!
