Android - Intercept and pass on all touch events

Question

I have an overlay ViewGroup that is the size of the screen which I want to use to show an effect when the user interacts with the app, but still passes the onTouch event to any

Answer 1

I solved this with a non perfect solution but works in this situation.

I created another ViewGroup which contains a clickable child which has width and height set to fill_parent (this was my requirement before adding the effects) and have overridden onIntercept...(). In onIntercept... I pass the event on to my overlay view to a custom onDoubleTouch(MotionEvent) method and do the relevant processing there, without interrupting the platforms routing of input events and letting the underlying viewgroup act as normal.

Easy!
