Views and navigation

In native app development, the concept of Views replaces Pages from web app development. Unlike web pages, Views can be navigated between seamlessly without a full refresh, and native apps do not rely on URLs for navigation. Instead, navigation between Views is managed internally within the app, creating a more fluid user experience.

Components and gestures

Just like in a web app, you design your native mobile app by adding elements to a parent element, which in this case is the view.

Instead, users interact through touch gestures like tapping, long pressing, and swiping.
