Android contentView disable user interaction?

Question

I want to disable the user interaction in an activity so that the user cannot touch the view/ subviews inside the content view of the activity. Is there any way to achieve this?

Answer 1

You can add a blank dialog on top of your activity like this:

overlayDialog = new Dialog(context, android.R.style.Theme_Panel);
overlayDialog.show();

and when you don't need it any more, call

 overlayDialog.dismiss();
