Disable the touch events for all the views

Question

What\'s the best way to disable the touch events for all the views?

Answer 1

Per your comment:

i just want to be able to disable the views of the current activity at some point

you seem to want to disable all touch for the current activity regardless of the view touched.

Returning true from an override of Activity.dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent) at the appropriate times will consume the touch and effectively accomplish this. This method is the very first in a chain of touch method calls.
