How to disable user interaction while ProgressBar is visible in android?

Question

I am using a custom ProgressBar. Now while a task is going on, I am showing the progress bar, but user can still interact with the views and controls. How do I disable the

Answer 1

I have fixed this issue by adding root layout to the ProgressBar.

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:clickable="true"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:visibility="gone"
    android:id="@+id/progress">
    <ProgressBar
        style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleLarge"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true"
        android:indeterminate="true"
        android:indeterminateTintMode="src_atop"
        android:indeterminateTint="@color/primary"/>
</LinearLayout>

Made the root layout clickable

android:clickable="true"

NOTE: In my main view, I had RelativeLayout as root and have added above-mentioned code inside the root layout at the last position (last child).

Hope this helps!!
