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

all you need to do is just call

arg0.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);

at the beginning of your onTouch function. Like thsi -

    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View arg0, MotionEvent arg1) {
        arg0.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);
        switch(arg1.getActio){
        }

        return false; 

     }
