Answer 1

Yes Its possible. Until or unless your invisible view is not clickable. so check your invisible layout structure. make android:clickable="false"

Declare it in your layout.

Answer 3

1 way you can do this is: 1. add an onTouch(View view, MotionEventevent) Listener to your layout 2. get the buttons bounds 3. Check if the touch event was done inside the bounds

The code should look something like this:

Button button;
Rect rect;

onCreate(){
rect = button.getClipBounds();
layout.setOnTouchListener(this)
}

onTouch(View view, MotionEvent event){
    if(rect.contains(event.getX(), event.getY())
        //insert action here
}
