adw.view_switcher_bar

Module for [ViewSwitcherBar] class

Types 3

A view switcher action bar.

view-switcher-bar

An action bar letting you switch between multiple views contained in a class@ViewStack, via an class@ViewSwitcher. It is designed to be put at the bottom of a window and to be revealed only on really narrow windows, e.g. on mobile phones. It can't be revealed if there are less than two pages.

[adw.view_switcher_bar.ViewSwitcherBar] is intended to be used together with [adw.view_switcher.ViewSwitcher] in a header bar, and a class@Breakpoint showing the view switcher bar on narrow sizes, while removing the view switcher from the header bar, as follows:

<object class="AdwWindow">
 <property name="width-request">360</property>
 <property name="height-request">200</property>
 <child>
   <object class="AdwBreakpoint">
     <condition>max-width: 550sp</condition>
     <setter object="switcher_bar" property="reveal">True</setter>
     <setter object="header_bar" property="title-widget"/>
   </object>
 </child>
 <property name="content">
   <object class="AdwToolbarView">
     <child type="top">
       <object class="AdwHeaderBar" id="header_bar">
         <property name="title-widget">
           <object class="AdwViewSwitcher">
             <property name="stack">stack</property>
             <property name="policy">wide</property>
           </object>
         </property>
       </object>
     </child>
     <property name="content">
       <object class="AdwViewStack" id="stack"/>
     </property>
     <child type="bottom">
       <object class="AdwViewSwitcherBar" id="switcher_bar">
         <property name="stack">stack</property>
       </object>
     </child>
   </object>
 </property>
</object>

It's recommended to set property@ViewSwitcher:policy to [adw.types.ViewSwitcherPolicy.Wide] in this case.

You may have to adjust the breakpoint condition for your specific pages.
