You have two possible approaches: take some open source project and adapt it to your needs, or otherwise, build your card swipe as a image slider from a detailed tutorial.
For the first option, have a look in Github, where you will find several small projects that do deck of cards with features usually on vertical or horizontal scrolling. I guess you may find interesting the following projects:
CardDeck: Deck of Cards for Android
DeckPicker: A complete android anki droid project with some additional feature of Card Preview within browser screen. In Preview screen card will be shown like review mode on card browser window.
In the end if the additional changes you made looks nice, it can be worth to submit a patch to the original project.
For the second alternative, for the case you prefer to implement it from scratch, then take simple steps, growing your project into more specific/complex details customizing it at your will. A fullscreen image slider would fit the bill, which would comprise the activity for the view page:
activity_fullscreen_view.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
android:id="@+id/pager"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
</LinearLayout>
And a Java class with a full screen viewer:
public class FullScreenImageAdapter extends PagerAdapter {
private Activity _activity;
private ArrayList<String> _imagePaths;
private LayoutInflater inflater;
// constructor
public FullScreenImageAdapter(Activity activity,
ArrayList<String> imagePaths) {
this._activity = activity;
this._imagePaths = imagePaths;
}
@Override
public int getCount() {
return this._imagePaths.size();
}
@Override
public boolean isViewFromObject(View view, Object object) {
return view == ((RelativeLayout) object);
}
@Override
public Object instantiateItem(ViewGroup container, int position) {
ImageView imgDisplay;
Button btnClose;
inflater = (LayoutInflater) _activity
.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View viewLayout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.layout_fullscreen_image, container,
false);
imgDisplay = (ImageView) viewLayout.findViewById(R.id.imgDisplay);
btnClose = (Button) viewLayout.findViewById(R.id.btnClose);
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inPreferredConfig = Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888;
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(_imagePaths.get(position), options);
imgDisplay.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
// close button click event
btnClose.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
_activity.finish();
}
});
((ViewPager) container).addView(viewLayout);
return viewLayout;
}
@Override
public void destroyItem(ViewGroup container, int position, Object object) {
((ViewPager) container).removeView((RelativeLayout) object);
}
}
Then you achieve the image sliding horizontally, such as:

And to add vertical motion, just include additional vertical layout:
main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Swipe Demo"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_margin="10dip" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:gravity="center">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_margin="10dip"
android:id="@+id/image_place_holder"/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
Which will allow you to slide things vertically:

At the end of the day, what you want to have is a grid, such as vertical and horizontal scrolling together. For that you have to combine both vertical and horizontal sliding into a table layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<HorizontalScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<TableLayout
android:id="@+id/amortization"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TableRow
android:background="#ffff00">
<TextView
android:text="@string/amortization_1"
android:padding="3dip"/>
<TextView
android:text="@string/amortization_2"
android:padding="3dip"/>
<TextView
android:text="@string/amortization_3"
android:padding="3dip"/>
<TextView
android:text="@string/amortization_4"
android:padding="3dip"/>
<TextView
android:text="@string/amortization_5"
android:padding="3dip"/>
<TextView
android:text="@string/amortization_6"
android:padding="3dip"/>
<TextView
android:text="@string/amortization_7"
android:padding="3dip"/>
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
</HorizontalScrollView>
</ScrollView>
Taking such steps and combining it, will allow you to achieve the effect you want.
