Dismiss modal form sheet view on outside tap iOS 8

Question

I\'ve been trying to dismiss the modal form sheet view on outside tap on iOS 8 with no luck, I\'ve tried this code

UITapGestureRecognizer *recognizer = [[U         


        

Answer 1

There are actually two problems in iOS 8. First, the gesture recognition does not begin.

I solved this by adding the UIGestureRecognizerDelegate protocol and implementing

-(BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer*)otherGestureRecognizer
{
    return YES;
}

Also, don't forget to register the delegate with

recognizer.delegate = self;

Now the gesture recognizer should recognize gestures and the target method (handleTapBehind:) will be called.

Here comes the second problem in iOS 8: locationInView: doesn't seem to take the device orientation into account if nil is passed as a view. Instead, passing the root view works.

Here's my target code that seems to work for iOS 7.1 and 8.0:

if (sender.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded) {
    UIView *rootView = self.view.window.rootViewController.view;
    CGPoint location = [sender locationInView:rootView];
    if (![self.view pointInside:[self.view convertPoint:location fromView:rootView] withEvent:nil]) {
        [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:^{
            [self.view.window removeGestureRecognizer:sender];
        }];
    }
}
