Question

How can I disable a child from gaining touch input from a ViewGroup? I can’t seem to be able to disable this…

The button keeps getting the pressed events when I press on the ViewGroup.

Any idea how to control the focus and touch events?

I have tried:

setDescendantFocusability(FOCUS_BLOCK_DESCENDANTS);
btn.setDuplicateParentStateEnabled(false);

Solution:

Create a custom ViewGroup, i.e. LinearLayout or FrameLayout and override dispatchSetPressed(...) so that the press event doesn’t propagate to it’s children.

Thats it!
