Android: How to make Layout clickable when EditText is a child
I have a Relative Layout with an EditText and an ImageView inside it.
Under certain circumstances, I would like to make the whole layout clickable and not any of its children.
I added an OnClickListener on the layout. And I tried the following with the children:
1. setEnabled(false)
2. setClickable(false)
This works for the ImageView but even after the above changes, when I click on the area near the EditText, the keyboard comes up and I can see the cursor in the edit text.
Instead of that, I am hoping that all click/touch events go to the layout.
Could some one help?
Thanks

Yon create a CustomLayout class and override the onInterceptTouchEvent method. If that method returns true, the layout's childrens will not receive the touch event. You can create a member variable and a public setter to change the returning value.
CustomLayout class
public class CustomLayout extends LinearLayout {
//If set to false, the children are clickable. If set to true, they are not.
private boolean mDisableChildrenTouchEvents;
public CustomLayout(Context context, @Nullable AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
mDisableChildrenTouchEvents = false;
}
@Override
public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
return mDisableChildrenTouchEvents;
}
public void setDisableChildrenTouchEvents(boolean flag) {
mDisableChildrenTouchEvents = flag;
}
}
MainActivity
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
CustomLayout layout = findViewById(R.id.mylayout);
//Disable touch events in Children
layout.setDisableChildrenTouchEvents(true);
layout.setOnClickListener(v -> System.out.println("Layout clicked"));
}
}
XML Layout
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
