I guess the best solution is to use a WebView, because it is “swipe-able”.
See an example [here](https://github.com/EmmanuelPil/Android-java-code-utilities-widgets-for-Processing-for-Android). Instead of a page on the web, you refer a local one.

That’s why I said, make your own local local page with pictures on top of each other and voila.

Try the following code.
You have to make a web page with images.
You can do this by copying the following to a text editor and save it with the extension .html (myPage.html) You have of course to change the name and size of the images and website accordingly to yours.
Save all the images + the web page in the sketch data folder.
```auto
HTML img Tag
```
Do not forget to give the internet permission!
```auto
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
import android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.widget.RelativeLayout;
import android.widget.FrameLayout;
import processing.android.CompatUtils;
import android.view.View;
FrameLayout fl;
Activity act;
WebView web;
WebViewClient wbc;
int webId;
boolean toggle;
public void onStart() {
super.onStart();
act = this.getActivity();
wbc = new WebViewClient();
web = new WebView(act);
web.setLayoutParams(new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams( RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
web.setY(60);
web.setWebViewClient(wbc);
web.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
web.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/new1.html");
webId = CompatUtils.getUniqueViewId();
web.setId(webId);
//web.setVisibility(View.GONE);
fl = (FrameLayout)act.getWindow().getDecorView().getRootView();
fl.addView(web);
}
void setup() {
background(0, 0, 100);
fullScreen();
textAlign(CENTER);
textSize(40);
fill(255);
text("Click to open/close WebView", width/2, 45);
}
void draw() {
}
void mousePressed() {
if (mouseY < 60) {
act.runOnUiThread(
new Runnable() {
public void run() {
WebView wv = (WebView)act.findViewById(webId);
if (toggle) {
wv.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
} else {
wv.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
}
}
);
toggle =! toggle;
}
}
```

Who wrote that line "Internal storage/Sketchbook/…etc ?
It has to be web.loadUrl(“file:///android\_asset/new1.html”);
Where you only change the file name “new1.html” to what you are using. (Site.html I believe)
This address points to the data folder in your sketch.
I also see that you are using small images. (icons?)
So maybe what you want is just one image that you can slide from the top to the bottom to click and choose player types or something. Thus no scrolling needed like Instagram.

I now also see, that you are using APDE’s preview mode. When you are using certain permissions like INTERNET (setting in the menu properties), you need to use the App mode, otherwise it won’t find the web page.
