Disable navigation swipe on Chrome browser in javascript [duplicate]

Question

This question already has answers here:

Stop chrome back/forward two finger swipe (8 answers)

Closed 3 years ago.

On Chrome Mobile, Google introduced a tab navigation with the swipe left/right events.

But i have a webapp, and i implement a swipe left event to open my navigation menu (like facebook or spotify)

The problem is, if user start his swipe on the first left pixel (left:0), the browser start the navigation mode, and do not execute my opening menu function.

Is there a way, to disable or stop the navigation mode on Chrome ?

I already tried with .preventDefault, and stopPropagation function, but not working :(

Thanks for your help

Answer 1

Could you try using a combination of:

• intercepting the browser Back function using window.onbeforeunload, as per this example, and
• disabling navigation using the technique illustrated in this example?

Answer 2

This behaviour is built into the java source of chrome (probably), which is why I think it won't be possible to disable this behaviour with Javascript alone. Maybe you can distribute you app with phonegap, if this behaviour is necessary.
