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

I was using the viewWillAppear and viewWillDisappear functions but as I have subviews for almost every item in the side menu I had. My issue was that I had a input field active (keyboard displaying) and accessed the side menu. In the root menu the keyboard hid but after I entered a submenu keyboard showed up again. To solve this I changed the approach to enable and disable the interaction in revealController like this:

- (void)revealController:(SWRevealViewController *)revealController 
        didMoveToPosition:(FrontViewPosition)position {
    if (position == FrontViewPositionRight) {
        [self.revealViewController.frontViewController.view setUserInteractionEnabled:NO];
    } else if (position == FrontViewPositionLeft) {
        [self.revealViewController.frontViewController.view setUserInteractionEnabled:YES];
    }
}
