How to cancel touch on tableview?

I am working on some custom swipe gestures added to a widget tableview. For example swipe up to bring up the keyboard. In order to do this I need to cancel touch on the tableview, when the swipe gesture action takes over.

I peeked in the tableview source code but can’t really figure out what to do.

Any suggestions or help appreciated. Thanks

Why not defer bringing up the keyboard till the finger is lifted?

Am I misunderstanding?

See the swipe gestures in apps like messenger and slack and you will know what I mean.

To do this kind of stuff I need to cancel the touch.

Add a transparent rect on top of your app and decide which events to propagate to your UI below

That could be another approach.

I just found another solution though.

When the swipe gesture is recognised I set tableView.setIsLocked(true) and in the ended phase I unlock it again.
