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

You can do this too. You can set touch listener to child view and then in onTouch() event, you can block intercept touch event of parent.

i.e.

View v = findViewById(R.id.sample_view);
v.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
    // Setting on Touch Listener for handling the touch inside ScrollView
    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
    // Disallow the touch request for parent scroll on touch of child view
    v.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);
    return false;
    }
});
