Android, disable the swiping to interact with SlidingPaneLayout

Question

I need to disable swiping to open/close SlidingPaneLayout because my main view is a map. I\'ll open/close it using a button.

This one is a bit tricky. If you always return true in onInterceptTouchEvent() it will dispatch event to the hidden content below. I was able to achieve it like this:

@Override
public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
    return !slidingEnabled || super.onInterceptTouchEvent(ev);
}

@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
    if (!slidingEnabled) {
        // Careful here, view might be null
        getChildAt(1).dispatchTouchEvent(ev);
        return true;
    }
    return super.onTouchEvent(ev);
}
