Answer 1

Step1:Add Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Toolkit in your solution

Step2:Add Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Toolkit reference in xaml like this:

xmlns:tolkit="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Phone.Controls;assembly=Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Toolkit"

Step3:Create gesture listener flick event like this:

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="Transparent">
        <tolkit:GestureService.GestureListener>
            <tolkit:GestureListener Flick="GestureListener_Flick"></tolkit:GestureListener>
        </tolkit:GestureService.GestureListener>
        <!--Pivot Control-->
        <controls:Pivot Title="MY APPLICATION">
            <!--Pivot item one-->
            <controls:PivotItem Header="item1">
                <Grid/>
            </controls:PivotItem>

            <!--Pivot item two-->
            <controls:PivotItem Header="item2">
                <Grid/>
            </controls:PivotItem>
        </controls:Pivot>
    </Grid>

Step 4:In your cs page add this code:

 private void GestureListener_Flick(object sender, FlickGestureEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Direction.ToString() == "Horizontal") //Left or right
            {
                if (e.HorizontalVelocity > 0) //Right
                {

                }
                else //Left
                {

                }
            }
        }
