how to fire an event when someone clicks anywhere on the screen in an android app?

Question

how can I catch the event when click occurs somewhere on the app screen? It doesn\'t matter if there is a button or something else. I just need to apply an onClick()

Answer 1

Give your main layout an id, then

LinearLayout root = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.main_layout);
root.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick()
    {

    }
});
