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

A very simple and full-proof way to do it is to create a sub class and override onInterceptTouchEvent:

public class MyRelativeLayout extends RelativeLayout {
    @Override
    public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
        // true if you do not want the children to be clickable.
        return mShouldInterceptAllTouch;
    }
}

No need to call any of the children's methods.

You can still call setOnClickListener on your myRelativeLayout object. Also, you can use the class in XMLs as if you were using a RelativeLayout
