Question

When application is started I run a custom pop-up till a user touches the screen. When screen is touched I catch it with event onTouch() and cancel the pop-up. From this point I don’t need the event anymore.
The problem is the event is alive and continues to jump up every time a user touches the screen.
Is there any way to unsubscribe from this event? Something like in c# -= eventName.
The code is below:

    @Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
    if (!_stopToast)
    {
    _hintToast.cancel();
    _stopToast = true;
    }
    return false;
}

There’s no such method (lets say removeTouchListener or similar) which will help you to remove an already defined touch listener from a view. Setting null to setOnTouchListener won’t help too. What you can do is to create a new object reference of OnTouchListener class which does nothing and set it in setOnTouchListener. For example:

public final OnTouchListener dummyOnTouchListener = new OnTouchListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent rawEvent) {
        return false;
    }
};

And simply use it as below:

yourView.setOnTouchListener(dummyOnTouchListener);
