(Swift) Prevent app doing anything while sliding



I have a slider below webView. What will be shown on the webView depends on slider's value.
I am sliding and it works OK. I want to prevent my app, or more precisely my webView, doing anything while my finger is on slider(while I am moving a slider's circle). Then, after I finish sliding(remove my finger out of the slider's circle), app/webView should be able to do other things. Is this possible?

@IBAction func sliderButton(_ sender: Any) {  
    loadWebView()      
}

sliderButton() method triggers when user is sliding, but I want loadWebView() method to be called only after user stops sliding.


Solution

  • For slider, you can do something like this,

    sliderButton.addTarget(self, action: #selector(onSliderValChanged(slider:event:)), for: .valueChanged)
    
    @objc func onSliderValChanged(slider: UISlider, event: UIEvent) {
            if let touchEvent = event.allTouches?.first {
                switch touchEvent.phase {
                case .began:
                // handle drag began
                    print("handle drag began")
                    break
                case .moved:
                // handle drag moved
                    print("handle drag moved")
                    break
                case .ended:
                // handle drag ended
                    print("handle drag ended")
    
                    //do for `WKWebView`'s user interaction
    
                    break
                default:
                    break
                }
            }
        }
