2,299 PointsHow to disable user interaction with a parent layout when a child layout has been inflated in Android Programming?
First let me explain what I am doing. I want to customize my alert dialogs in my application and not use alert dialog. What I have done was to create a layout that contains my popup warning (my alert dialog) with a dismiss button inside. When I inflate the popup warning xml layout from my activity, the popup shows when and where I want, but the parent view can still be clicked on and interacted with. I have tried setting the parent layout a variety of ways when the popup layout is in focus. I have .setClickable(false); .setEnabled(false); setFocusable(false); setActivated(false). I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks In Advance!
