Android: How to prevent any touch events from being passed from a view to the one underneath it?

Question

Specifically using the code below, is there a way to modify it so that the activity under this newly created view does not receive any gestures?

View v1 = new Vi         


        

Answer 1

From code

View v1 = new View(this);   
v1.setClickable(true);
v1.setFocusable(true);

OR

From xml

This will prevent touch and click events from being propagated to views that stay below your view.
Or if you inflate the View then to .xml add android:clickable="true"
