A user interface element facilitating the selection of numerical values through a vertically scrolling list. This component presents a set of numbers, typically integers, that the user can browse and select using up and down swipe gestures. Upon selection, the chosen number is highlighted and registered as the user’s input.
This method for numerical input offers advantages in user experience and data integrity. It reduces the likelihood of typing errors associated with manual entry and streamlines interaction, particularly on touch-screen devices. Its integration into mobile application development addresses a need for controlled data input, contributing to a cleaner and more intuitive interface compared to direct keyboard entry for numerical values. It builds upon established principles of visual data selection but tailors them for the specific needs of mobile platforms.
