What is the difference between swipe and slide in Android ?

Hey Cihan!

I think they're both the same thing if you're talking in the context of how the user interacts with the screen. Unless you mean something else?

Slide is when you put your finger on the screen and drag it to the other side or another direction etc.. Swipe on the other hand is basically like sliding but you just quickly slide your finger in another direction but you do not have to do it the full length. I hope that helps?
