I have custom back buttons all over my app and it looks like navigation controller does not like it.
So, I want the iOS7 swipe-to-go-back gesture to work along with my custom back buttons. Searched and tried different ways but none seems to be promising. The closest I could get is with http://keighl.com/post/ios7-interactive-pop-gesture-custom-back-button/. However, Now when I keep pushing and popping the navigation stack, after sometime the rootViewController in the stack stops responding to any touch.
Any suggestions?
Subclassing UINavigationController, like keighl is suggesting, is the right approach imo. But he's missing a check for the root view controller to avoid freezing when the gesture is executed on the root view. Here's a modified version with the additional check:
CBNavigationController.h:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
@interface CBNavigationController : UINavigationController <UIGestureRecognizerDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate>
@end
CBNavigationController.m:
#import "CBNavigationController.h"
@interface CBNavigationController ()
@end
@implementation CBNavigationController
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
NSLog(@"%s",__FUNCTION__);
__weak CBNavigationController *weakSelf = self;
if ([self respondsToSelector:@selector(interactivePopGestureRecognizer)])
{
self.interactivePopGestureRecognizer.delegate = weakSelf;
self.delegate = weakSelf;
}
}
- (void)pushViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController animated:(BOOL)animated
{
NSLog(@"%s",__FUNCTION__);
if ([self respondsToSelector:@selector(interactivePopGestureRecognizer)])
self.interactivePopGestureRecognizer.enabled = NO;
[super pushViewController:viewController animated:animated];
}
#pragma mark UINavigationControllerDelegate
- (void)navigationController:(UINavigationController *)navigationController
didShowViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController
animated:(BOOL)animate
{
NSLog(@"%s",__FUNCTION__);
// Enable the gesture again once the new controller is shown AND is not the root view controller
if (viewController == self.viewControllers.firstObject)
{
if ([self respondsToSelector:@selector(interactivePopGestureRecognizer)])
self.interactivePopGestureRecognizer.enabled = NO;
}
else
{
if ([self respondsToSelector:@selector(interactivePopGestureRecognizer)])
self.interactivePopGestureRecognizer.enabled = YES;
}
}
@end
