Jquery: Temporary disable swipe?

Question

Is there any way to disable swipe, for example on a click event and then enable swipe again? I know you can use stopPropagation, but how do you then enable it again?

Thanks

The recommendation by wot is the correct method. Instead of stopping the propagation of events, namespace the events you bind so that you can bind/unbind them as you need.

For example, bind like this (to detect swipes):

jQuery('body').on('swipeleft.my_event_namespace_name', function(){//code});

Then unbind like this (to disable detection of swipes):

jQuery('body').off('swipeleft.my_event_namespace_name');

You can repeat this binding and unbinding as much as you need.
