Question

I am showing two activities, one activitie bigger than the other. I’m doing it with this:
http://iserveandroid.blogspot.com.es/2010/10/how-to-set-heightwidth-for-activity-or.html

I’m not using fragments, i’m not using tabs.

The bigger activity haves some buttons and the smaller activity also haves some buttons.

The bigger activity launchs the smaller activity, and then, the bigger activity stops listening for finger events (touch on the screen).

It is possible to solve this?

I need that the two activities can listen to touch events.

Thanks

EDIT: maybe this can be solved with the flag splitTouch but it is only compatible since Android 3.0, and i need to make this on android 2.2 at least…

Answer 1

Solved 🙂

I can achieve that adding this code to the activity

this.getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCH_MODAL); 

and this code into the activity declaration on the manifest:

android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar" 

Very simple but very hard to find and not documented solution

Ahhh, and it is compatible since API 1 !!
