How can I disable a view behind my SlidingDrawer in Android?

Question

I have a SlidingDrawer that pops up from the bottom of the screen and fills the screen about 80%. Even though the SlidingDrawer view is in focus, it is still possible to cli

Answer 1

Joe's answer did not do the trick for me. My scenario is a bit diferent. I have a FrameLayout with two children. Only one of the children has to be 'active' at a given moment, and while the second is active the first should no longer process any input. My solution:

    public static void changeVGstate(ViewGroup current, boolean enable)
{
    current.setFocusable(enable);
    current.setClickable(enable);
    current.setEnabled(enable);

    for (int i = 0; i < current.getChildCount(); i++)
    {
        View v = current.getChildAt(i); 
        if (v instanceof ViewGroup)
            changeVGstate((ViewGroup)v, enable);
        else
        {
            v.setFocusable(enable);
            v.setClickable(enable);
            v.setEnabled(enable);
        }
    }
}

Enjoy!

Here's a way to get around this problem (I needed a solution also) - grab the linearLayout that holds the contents and add a click listener. Have the click listener respond to clicks (throw away, whatever) - and this then stops it propagating to the view below the sliding drawer - it works for me - and it doesn't block the other items in the drawer.

I don't know if this will work, but it's worth a try. Call setDescendantFocusability(ViewGroup.FOCUS_BLOCK_DESCENDANTS) on your container View (the one that the sliding drawer slides over).

In side Layout do android:clickable="true"

For Example Following file is drawer.xml

Inside LinearLayout android:id="@+id/drawer_view" clickable="true"

<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
        android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        tools:context=".MainActivity">


        <FrameLayout
            android:id="@+id/container"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent">

        </FrameLayout>      

        <LinearLayout
            android:id="@+id/drawer_view"
            android:layout_width="@dimen/navigation_drawer_width"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:orientation="vertical"
            android:layout_gravity="start"
            android:clickable="true"
            android:background="@color/drawer_background">

            <LinearLayout
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:padding="10dp"
                android:background="@drawable/order_list_selector"
                android:orientation="horizontal">

                <ImageView
                    android:layout_width="@dimen/user_image_w_h"
                    android:layout_height="@dimen/user_image_w_h"
                    android:scaleType="fitCenter"
                    android:id="@+id/drawerUserImage"
                    android:src="@drawable/ic_user_icon"
                    android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" />

                <LinearLayout
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:gravity="center"
                    android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
                    android:orientation="vertical"
                    android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
                    android:padding="5dp">

                    <TextView
                        android:id="@+id/drawerUserNameTextView"
                        android:layout_width="match_parent"
                        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                        android:text="Mansukh Ahir"
                        android:textColor="@android:color/black"
                        android:textSize="@dimen/font_large" />

                    <TextView
                        android:id="@+id/drawerEmailIdTextView"
                        android:layout_width="match_parent"
                        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                        android:textSize="@dimen/font_very_small"/>
                </LinearLayout>
            </LinearLayout>

            <View
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="1dp"
                android:background="@color/holo_gray_light" />

            <ListView
                android:id="@+id/drawerListSlideMenu"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
                android:dividerHeight="1dp" />
        </LinearLayout>

    </android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

Answer 5

I've tried to put SlidingDrawer in the RelativeLayout, instead of LinearLayout. And set mySlidingDrawer.bringToFront() in opening method.

So I think this may be a solution.
