Using AMSlideMenu, re-enabling swipe gesture - ios

Question

Need help using the AMSlideMenu from https://github.com/SocialObjects-Software/AMSlideMenu
In a project I'm creating I needed to disable the AMSlideMenu swiping so I could use the UISwipeGestureRecognize to perform another action.
The main swiping has been disabled [self disableSlidePanGestureForLeftMenu]; and the menu is accessible by pressing the menuBtn, but I would like to use UISwipeGestureRecognizer which AMSlideMenu seems to be disabling.
Any ideas on how I could regain the UISwipeGestureRecognizer for my project?
Thank you!
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
[self disableSlidePanGestureForLeftMenu];
UIButton *menuBtn = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[menuBtn addTarget:self
action:#selector(menuButtonTapped:)
forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self.view addSubview:menuBtn];
UISwipeGestureRecognizer *leftSwipe = [[UISwipeGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action: #selector(swipeRecognized:) ];
[leftSwipe setDirection:UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionLeft];
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:leftSwipe];
UISwipeGestureRecognizer *rightSwipe = [[UISwipeGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action: #selector(swipeRecognized:) ];
[rightSwipe setDirection:UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionRight];
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:rightSwipe];
}
- (void)menuButtonTapped:(id)sender
{
[self.mainSlideMenu openLeftMenu];
}
-(void) swipeRecognized:(UISwipeGestureRecognizer *)swipe {
int pageNum;
switch (swipe.direction)
{
case UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionLeft:{
pageNum++;
break;
}
case UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionRight:{
pageNum--;
break;
}
default:
break;
}
}

Change gesture in Table view
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
[self disableSlidePanGestureForLeftMenu];
UIButton *menuBtn = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[menuBtn addTarget:self
action:#selector(menuButtonTapped:)
forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self.view addSubview:menuBtn];
UISwipeGestureRecognizer *leftSwipe = [[UISwipeGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action: #selector(swipeRecognized:) ];
[leftSwipe setDirection:UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionLeft];
[self.tableView addGestureRecognizer:leftSwipe];
UISwipeGestureRecognizer *rightSwipe = [[UISwipeGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action: #selector(swipeRecognized:) ];
[rightSwipe setDirection:UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionRight];
[self.tableView addGestureRecognizer:rightSwipe];
}
- (void)menuButtonTapped:(id)sender
{
[self.mainSlideMenu openLeftMenu];
}
-(void) swipeRecognized:(UISwipeGestureRecognizer *)swipe {
int pageNum;
switch (swipe.direction)
{
case UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionLeft:{
pageNum++;
break;
}
case UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionRight:{
pageNum--;
break;
}
default:
break;
}
}
And now Just only Add an delegate method
- (BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)otherGestureRecognizer{
return YES;
}

You need to stop left/right pan gesture from left menu controller class.
And then put your swipe gesture for specific view controller.
Follow steps below to stop swipe gesture for left menu:
1) Go to AMSlideMenuMainViewController.m class, in that select - (void)setup method.
2) Comment following lines from this method will stop swipe gesture.
self.panGesture = [[UIPanGestureRecognizer alloc] init];
[self.panGesture addTarget:self action:#selector(handlePanGesture:)];
[self.currentActiveNVC.view addGestureRecognizer:self.panGesture];
3) After commenting these lines create a swipe gesture in your ViewController and handle your custom logic.
