SWRevealViewController closes when opened beyond 'snappoint' - objective-c

Question

I'm trying to make the SWRevealViewController work in my application.
What I did is I didn't want to be able to open the menu from everywhere on the screen so I changed all the UIPanGestureRecognizer with UIScreenEdgePanGestureRecognizer so it would only be triggered from the side of the screen.
to achieve this I also altered thepanGestureRecognizer method. This looks as follows right now
- (UIScreenEdgePanGestureRecognizer*)panGestureRecognizer
{
if ( _panGestureRecognizer == nil )
{
_panGestureRecognizer = [[SWRevealViewControllerPanGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(_handleRevealGesture:)];
_panGestureRecognizer.delegate = self;
_panGestureRecognizer.edges = UIRectEdgeLeft;
[_contentView.frontView addGestureRecognizer:_panGestureRecognizer];
}
return _panGestureRecognizer;
}
However (not sure if this change is causing my problem) when I start to open the menu from the left side and expand it over the point where it will normally snap to when opened up it will collapse back in.
so let's say it opens to 500px of the screen. When I drag it beyond those 500px it will automatically close the menu.
Also it's currently not possible to close the menu again by swiping it. What I did for now is add a gesturerecognizer which will trigger the revealViewController.revealToggle(animated: true) method.
Does anyone happen to know how to fix this?

Answer 1

import #import "SWRevealViewController.h"
These two gestures helps you to open and close sw menu . Drag and click for open and close SW
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:self.revealViewController.panGestureRecognizer];
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:self.revealViewController.tapGestureRecognizer];
Open sw menu normally
[self.revealViewController revealToggleAnimated:YES]

Answer 2

I ended up fixing it by using the delegate methods that come with SWRevealViewController my entire code looks like this
import UIKit
import SWRevealViewController
import UIKit.UIGestureRecognizerSubclass
class ViewController: UIViewController, SWRevealViewControllerDelegate {
#IBOutlet var openMenu: UIBarButtonItem!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
openMenu.target = self.revealViewController()
openMenu.action = #selector(SWRevealViewController.revealToggle(_:))
revealViewController().delegate = self
self.view.addGestureRecognizer(self.revealViewController().panGestureRecognizer())
self.hideMenuWhenTappedAround()
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
func revealControllerPanGestureShouldBegin(_ revealController: SWRevealViewController!) -> Bool {
let point = revealController.panGestureRecognizer().location(in: self.view)
if revealController.frontViewPosition == FrontViewPosition.left && point.x < 50.0 {
return true
}
else if revealController.frontViewPosition == FrontViewPosition.right {
return true
}
return false
}
func revealController(_ revealController: SWRevealViewController!, panGestureMovedToLocation location: CGFloat, progress: CGFloat) {
if location >= revealController.rearViewRevealWidth {
revealController.panGestureRecognizer().state = UIGestureRecognizerState.ended
}
}
}
The self.hideMenuWhentappedAround() makes sure that the menu will close when you tap anywhere on the uiview. This method is created in an extension of the UIViewController and it looks as follows.
import UIKit
import SWRevealViewController
extension UIViewController {
func hideMenuWhenTappedAround() {
let tap: UITapGestureRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(SWRevealViewController.dismissMenu))
tap.cancelsTouchesInView = false
view.addGestureRecognizer(tap)
}
func dismissMenu() {
self.revealViewController().revealToggle(animated: true)
}
}
