android - overdraw layout allows touch through LinearLayout

Question

in the following UI I have this below drabable overlaying the entire screen. The LinearLayout is transparent and allows controls below it to be clickable or touchable. Basically

Answer 1

Assigned a click to Linear Layout and that solved it. Honestly it should not be working like this to begin with but that solved the problem. The click is empty.

Answer 2

Just setting the android:clickable="true" property for the LinearLayout in the XML will prevent the clicks going through -- no need for a click listener.

Answer 3

What worked for me was to put the LinearLayout before the inner RelativeLayout in the xml.
