Android Layout make all children's not clickable

Question

I am using Relative Layout and many buttons in it with TextViews etc.I want to make all of them not clickable unless some event happens.

Answer 1

I found an alternative way to achieve this. You may create a blocking LinearLayout on top all its sibling views in the RelativeLayout like below:

    
    ...
    

    

Later you may toggle the LinearLayout's visibility to GONE to allow the children views to be clickable again:

mMask.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); // blocks children
mMask.setVisibility(View.GONE); // children clickable
