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

I think the best approach is to add a touch event and set return value True

As you can see here:

  someView.setOnTouchListener(object: View.OnTouchListener {
        override fun onTouch(v: View?, event: MotionEvent?): Boolean{
            return true
        }

    })

returning True means that the top view is handling the touch and no need to hand over the touch event to other views related.
