Working with touch and gesture events

When working with user interfaces that demand a high level of user interaction or certain processes to be run at certain moments, we need to consider using events and detecting them to execute methods. In this recipe, we will create some functionality that will demonstrate not only the setting of an event but also its removal.

How to do it...

We will use the methods available in the XUI library to control the delegation of event handlers:

   cordova platform add ios
   cordova platform add android
   

3. Add the dialog plugin by running this line:

   cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.dialogs
