Stop touch event during touch move

Question

In my game, when time is up, I want to display another view and stop the interaction on the others currently used before the time stopped. But when the other view is coming, if I let my finger on the screen, I can stil drag into the view behind the new view and continue the game.... That's not the purpose.

I want to lose the focus of the finger, or cancel the finger... I tried to set userInteraction to NO.. but not working.

Can somebody knows how to solve this issue?

The quickFix is to setup a shared variable and test it in the touchBegan and TouchMoved event.. but that's not proper :)

Thank a lot!

Answer 1

Your -touchesMoved:withEvent: method can check whether the timer is still running before it does anything. If the timer expires, it stops changing anything.

Answer 2

1.Ignore the events while animation.

2.Instead of setting userInteraction to NO ignore the events.

Use these methods to ignore events

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] beginIgnoringInteractionEvents];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] endIgnoringInteractionEvents];
