anyone have any suggestion on how to prevent the swipe back to the previous page? We tend to do a lot of highlighting and copy and paste work on our mobile app and its super sensitive to swiping back to the previous page.
not sure if this is a bug, feature request or just some type of code i need drop into my app to prevent it.
thanks in advance!

From what I understand, there’s currently no way to stop this.
There were a lot of discussions years ago where people in the forum have tried hiding the back button, and whilst that work, it doesn’t affect the swipe gesture. No matter what you do to hide the visible buttons, the swipe back feature can’t be disabled.
So would this be considered a feature request? It seems like it’s something that’s built into glide, it doesn’t seem to happen on normal mobile browsers.
Glide apps run within a browser wrapper, so I would think any experience you have with the “installed” app should be the same as you would experience just visiting the url (minus the url bar and access to browser settings). At least for me, the swipe experience in android chrome is the same whether the app is “installed” or I’m just visiting the url. Either way it’s still running within the browser.
That said, I think it is an intended action that’s been that way since the beginning of Glide. Since it appears you are viewing the detail screen of one item in a collection, one suggestion would be to maybe try opening the detail screen as an overlay and see if that helps. I don’t believe an overlay has that swipe action to go back.
