Adding a fragment on top of another fragment onClickListener issue

Question

I'm adding a fragment to an activity instead of replacing the current fragment (because this corresponds to the type of behavior I want to have).

My problem is that clicking in a spot on the top fragment (the one that's currently visible), where a view in the non-visible fragment is located, causes an onClick event on the view in the second, non-visible fragment, to fire. Why is this happening and how can I prevent this?

This is the code I use to first add the ListView fragment to the activity:

@Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {     ...      if (savedInstanceState == null) {         listFragment = new ListFragment ();         getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()                 .add(R.id.frame_container, listFragment)                 .addToBackStack(listFragment .TAG)                 .commit();     }      ...  } 

In this same activity I'm adding the second fragment, on top of the list fragment:

@Override protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode,                                 Intent data) {     ...             createItemFragment = new CreateItemFragment();             getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()                     .add(R.id.frame_container, createItemFragment)                     .addToBackStack(createItemFragment.TAG)                     .commit();     ... }

You can just add the following attribute to the XML root layout of the fragment that agoes on top-

android:clickable="true" 

This will ensure that touch events will not propagate further than the top layer.
