Is it possible to somehow let the user navigate between records. For Instance: I have an app that has “posts” that are tied to dates. (Kinda like a daily blog) Is it possible for the user to “go to the next record” without navigating back out to the list? Suggestion: maybe a button that will take…

Hmm, that gets my wheels turning. I’m trying to think of a way to apply this method to any list. Maybe two columns set up as an array column with one column showing the prior record id, the second column showing the next record id. Then creating a relation off of that array column. Not very far …

Hi Jeff - Curious if you made any progress on this. I’m trying to build the same sort of thing - including a “next” button when looking at one item from a list so that you can go to the next item in the list, without having to navigate back to the full list.

Yes, I have a Paging example in https://concepts.glideapp.io/ .

Thanks Jeff! This is really good. Much appreciated - and I’ll check out what else you have in the concepts app… One follow-up question: Clicking on the tiles basically “drills into” the app each time you use a button to go to the next list item. Which means going back to the full list (when done…

Yeah, I think the paging works best if you have tabs showing in the app. You can just double tap on a tab to get back to the top level.

Do you think that you use this method to show “previous” and “next” instead of the item names. The “previous” and “next” could appear as images in place of the background image, or as text on some type of background.

This is great work guys, :+1:t4: going to add this as a technique in docs.

I don’t know of a way to show previous or next. Both button tiles are pointing to the same columns to get the text or images, and there isn’t a way to tell an inline list to use one set of column values for the “previous” and a second set of columns for the “next”. If you have any ideas, feel free…

Thanks for the help Jeff. With your help, I was able to meet the client’s expectations. The app I’m building now has 2 buttons (previous, next) with generic names (“previous exercise”, “next exercise”), as well as a way to have the next button cycle from the last item cycle back to the first item.…

@matt Here’s a copy of the app I’m working on. It pretty rough at the moment, but if you look at the memories tab you can see what I’m doing with the buttons. It’s a photo gallery with buttons that show the previous and next image. I’m not cycling from last to first in mine. Instead I have an em…

I think this would make a lot of things simpler with the newly launched increment action.
