SWRevealViewController: Remove interaction on frontview when rearview is revealed

Question

I need to disable user interaction on front view when rear view is revealed. Found some others asking the same thing but can\'t really understand where or how to implement t

Answer 1

In viewWillAppear method of your menu items controller, Just create an overlay button on the front view and set action to revealToggle: of revealViewController

-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated 
{
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
    overlayView = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
    overlayView.frame = self.revealViewController.frontViewController.view.bounds;
    overlayView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithWhite:0.5 alpha:0.8];
    overlayView.tag = 999;
    [overlayView addTarget:self.revealViewController action:@selector(revealToggle:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
    [overlayView addTarget:self.revealViewController action:@selector(revealToggle:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchDragOutside];
    [self.revealViewController.frontViewController.view addSubview:overlayView];
}

In revealTogglle method remove the overlay button if any:

- (void)revealToggleAnimated:(BOOL)animated
{
    UIButton *overlayView = (UIButton*)[self.view viewWithTag:999];
    if (overlayView) {
        [overlayView removeFromSuperview];
        overlayView = nil;
    }
    // rest of the code...
}
