In my activity I have many buttons that launch other activities. The problem is that when I press a button I don’t want to be able to press another, and so to launch 2 activities (or more). What is the best solution to block the other views (buttons) after one of them was pressed?

    Add one onClickListener() for all buttons. In listener switch the actions as per id.

    public .. onClickListener(){
// Disable all buttons here..
button1.setDisabled(true);
button2.setDisabled(true);
button3.setDisabled(true);
...
switch(view.getId()){
 case R.id.button1:
// Start some activiy ... or do some task...
break;
 case R.id.button2:
...
break;. ...

}

    Don’t forget to enable all buttons in onResume()

    public .. onResume(){
button1.setDisabled(true);
    button2.setDisabled(true);
    button3.setDisabled(true);
}

    OR, Try This to enable/disable all views in a viewGroup…

    private void enableDisableView(View view, boolean enabled) {
    view.setEnabled(enabled);

    if ( view instanceof ViewGroup ) {
        ViewGroup group = (ViewGroup)view;

        for ( int idx = 0 ; idx < group.getChildCount() ; idx++ ) {
            enableDisableView(group.getChildAt(idx), enabled);
        }
    }
}

    Pass the view parameter as the parent layout containing all buttons.

    I haven’t used this, but this should work. Try playing around this code.
