Prevent user navigation

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by goncalomelo8
Hi everyone,
 
My app has the "Back enabled" feature on, which lets the users swipe right to go to the previous screen.
 
Now, I have a scenario where I have to prevent the user from navigating away from a specific screen A to other screens (B, C, D).
 
Has anyone faced this issue before or have any suggestions on how to approach this?
 
Cheers,
Gonçalo Melo

    hi
     
    There is no way to block their navigation via the Browser.
     
    You would need to specifically enable buttons for the navigation and Disabled them until your conditions are met.

    Hey
     
    Simply dont use the Back function and place a button instead that navigates the user to thr previous screen. On thr screen where they are not allowed to navigate back dont use a button or only make it visible when they filled out the Form (or whatever use case You have)

    Hi @mmbr1606, 
     
    I know that I can just disable the Back functionality and use buttons to control the navigation instead, but the idea was to keep the feature enabled to let them swipe to go back and not to have extra buttons.
     
    Thanks for your reply.

    Hi @FLMike,
     
    The users will not be using the app via browser but in iPads, not sure if that makes a big difference.
