It's worth going through the tutorials and samples. IIRC, you want the bookshelf one. Basically you need to build a datasource backed by a directory. You can combine it with one backed by a DB to store the metadata from the images or other things.

Now I'm trying to figure out graphics and gestures. That's a pretty steep curve by itself for me, but I don't know a lot about graphics on any platform.
