Finally did it like below.
let gesture = UIPanGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: Selector("wasDragged:"))
slideUpView.addGestureRecognizer(gesture)
slideUpView.userInteractionEnabled = true
gesture.delegate = self
The following function is called when the gesture is detected, (here I am restricting the view to have a maximum centre.y of 555, & I'm resetting back to 554 when the view moves past this point)
func wasDragged(gestureRecognizer: UIPanGestureRecognizer) {
if gestureRecognizer.state == UIGestureRecognizerState.Began || gestureRecognizer.state == UIGestureRecognizerState.Changed {
let translation = gestureRecognizer.translationInView(self.view)
print(gestureRecognizer.view!.center.y)
if(gestureRecognizer.view!.center.y < 555) {
gestureRecognizer.view!.center = CGPointMake(gestureRecognizer.view!.center.x, gestureRecognizer.view!.center.y + translation.y)
}else {
gestureRecognizer.view!.center = CGPointMake(gestureRecognizer.view!.center.x, 554)
}
gestureRecognizer.setTranslation(CGPointMake(0,0), inView: self.view)
}
}
