You need to handle all your touch events in the LinearLayout and check the location of the child views (child.getLeft() and child.getRight()).

public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent event){

    for(int i = 0; i < cc; ++i){
        View c = getChildView();
        if(x > c.getLeft() && x < c.getRight()){
            return c.onTouchEvent(event);
        }
    }
    return false;
}
