Disable the flickering/blinking of UIMenuItems in UIMenuController in Swift












0














How can I get rid of the flickering/blinking of UIMenuItems in a UIMenuController? I currently have copy and paste items, but when my app displays the menu inside the action of a UILongPressGestureRecognizer, they start blinking.



@objc func viewLongPressed(_ recognizer: UILongPressGestureRecognizer) {
[...]

UIMenuController.shared.setMenuVisible(true, animated: true)
}


Are there any implementations for this in iOS?

          This is because UILongPressGestureRecognizer events get recognized constantly if you keep pressing the recognizer view. Calling the setMenuVisible(animated:) method of UIMenuController repeatedly causes the blinking effect you've described.



          To solve this, show the menu only if the state of the recognizer is .began.



          @objc func viewLongPressed(_ recognizer: UILongPressGestureRecognizer) {
          [...]

          if recognizer.state == .began {
          UIMenuController.shared.setMenuVisible(true, animated: true)
          }
          }
