Android overlay to grab ALL touch, and pass them on?

Question

I\'m basically trying to get all touch event data from something like a system overlay, move my sprites around based on this touch data, then allow the OS/homescreen/browser

Answer 1

You can use the GestureOverlayView, if you want to hide the lines it draws you can set the color to Transparent #00000000 so it doesn't show up, and then you can capture all touches, and gestures.
