Question

I tried to disable the children widgets by disabling the wrapping relativeLayout, but that doesn’t work, is there any other way to do that? I think this is necessary because sometimes we don’t want to setEnable(xx) on every children widgets. So is it possible for me to do that? or is there some similar way ? thx a lot~

Maybe you can try something like this:

RelativeLayout myLayout = (RelativeLayout findViewById(R.id.linearLayout1);
for ( int i = 0; i < myLayout.getCount();  i++ ){
   View view = myLayout.getChildAt(i);
   view.setEnabled(false); // Or whatever you want to do with the view.
}

I believe you can extend the layout class and implement a new method that does the job. Also, you can check this question: How to disable all content inside linear layout in android?
