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

Although these solutions do work, I don't think any of them address the original question, which is actually quite simple:

There are 2 steps involved:

1) Add the following methods to your FrontViewController.m:

- (void)revealController:(SWRevealViewController *)revealController 
      willMoveToPosition:(FrontViewPosition)position {
    if(position == FrontViewPositionLeft) {
        self.view.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
    } else {
        self.view.userInteractionEnabled = NO;
    } 
}

- (void)revealController:(SWRevealViewController *)revealController 
       didMoveToPosition:(FrontViewPosition)position {
    if(position == FrontViewPositionLeft) {
        self.view.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
    } else {
        self.view.userInteractionEnabled = NO;
    } 
}

2) Make your front view controller be a delegate of SWRevealViewController in the FrontViewController.h file:

(e.g. @interface HomeViewController : UIViewController )

where my FrontViewController was named HomeViewController

and also in the FrontViewController.m file with the following on ViewDidLoad:

self.revealViewController.delegate = self;

Problem solved! Much easier than creating parent classes, etc.
