Also looking for the transition animation. But I did figure out how to accomplish the tapping outside of window to dismiss/close. It can be found here.
In your viewDidAppear
you create a UITapGestureRecognizer and add it to the view's window. Like so:
UITapGestureRecognizer *recognizer = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleTapBehind:)];
[recognizer setNumberOfTapsRequired:1];
recognizer.cancelsTouchesInView = NO;
[self.view.window addGestureRecognizer:recognizer];
handleTapBehind
checks to see is the Gesture's state has ended and get's the location of the tap and dismisses the view/window
- (void)handleTapBehind:(UITapGestureRecognizer *)sender{
if (sender.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded){
CGPoint location = [sender locationInView:nil]; //Passing nil gives us coordinates in the window
//Check to see if it's in or outside. If outside, dismiss the view.
if (![self.view pointInside:[self.view convertPoint:location fromView:self.view.window] withEvent:nil]){
// Remove the recognizer first so it's view.window is valid.
[self.view.window removeGestureRecognizer:sender];
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
}
}
Hope this helps!
