How to Allow outside touch for BottomSheetDialog?

Question

I am working on BottomSheetDialogFragment my requirement is to create Bottom menu, Where if I click outside fragment area it should not cancel the Dialog and should persist.

ISSUE: And Event outside the Fragment should propagate to the lower fragment view/fragment.

I have already tried below(doesn't work for BottomDialogFragment): Allow outside touch for DialogFragment

To stop the dialog cancel i tried Below(i call setCancelable(boolean) in onStart() of BottomDialogFragment):

@Override
    public void setCancelable(boolean cancelable) {
        super.setCancelable(cancelable);

        BottomSheetDialog dialog = (BottomSheetDialog) getDialog();
        dialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(cancelable);

        View bottomSheetView = dialog.getWindow().getDecorView().findViewById(R.id.design_bottom_sheet);
        BottomSheetBehavior.from(bottomSheetView).setHideable(cancelable);
    }

EDIT: Found it the hard way there is no other go then using Coordinate layout.The best solution for BottomSheetDialog is here

• This Solution solve's the issue but bring's in one more issue. i.e all the actionMode event's are not navigated while all other app event's are.
• And this is my best solution to the problem

Answer 1

Try code below in your BottomSheetDialog:

 override fun onCreateDialog(savedInstanceState: Bundle?): Dialog {
     return (super.onCreateDialog(savedInstanceState) as BottomSheetDialog).apply {
         setCanceledOnTouchOutside(false)
     }
 }

or wrap by <CoordinatorLayout> for instance your <ConstraintLayout> and implement <layout /> and attach to BottomSheetBehavior.

Answer 2

As been said by Pankaj Kumar, this is not possible by default. However, I found a workaround that works and allows touches to views outside of the bottom sheet while keeping the bottom sheet open

You can override the layout of the BottomSheetDialog like so:

values/refs.xml

<resources xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
    <item name="design_bottom_sheet_dialog" type="layout" tools:override="true">@layout/custom_design_bottom_sheet_dialog</item>
</resources>

layout/custom_design_bottom_sheet_dialog.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!--
  ~ This is an override of the design_bottom_sheet_dialog from material library
-->
<FrameLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/container"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

  <androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout
      android:id="@+id/coordinator"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content">

    <View
        android:id="@+id/touch_outside"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:visibility="gone"
        android:importantForAccessibility="no"
        android:soundEffectsEnabled="false"
        tools:ignore="UnusedAttribute"/>

    <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/design_bottom_sheet"
        style="?attr/bottomSheetStyle"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|top"
        app:layout_behavior="@string/bottom_sheet_behavior"/>

  </androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

</FrameLayout>

YourCustomBottomSheetDialogFragment

override fun onStart() {
        super.onStart()

        // Set layout for custom bottom sheet by allowing background touches
        dialog?.window?.apply {
            setLayout(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT)
            setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCH_MODAL, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCH_MODAL)
            
            attributes = attributes.apply {
                gravity = Gravity.BOTTOM
            }
            setDimAmount(0.0f)
        }
    }

By doing this, the dialog has a wrap_content height and the flags allow touches to be handled by views outside of this dialog

you should use android.support.design.widget.BottomSheetBehavior.

but if you want to have a bottomSheet in other class I suggest you use a Fragment and in this fragment open your bottomSheet

open your fragment in this way.

And in your fragment, open your bottomSheet in the following code:

in onInitViews

var mBottomSheetBehavior = BottomSheetBehavior.from(bottomSheetCoordinatorLayout)
mBottomSheetBehavior!!.state = BottomSheetBehavior.STATE_HIDDEN

mBottomSheetBehavior!!.setBottomSheetCallback(object : BottomSheetBehavior.BottomSheetCallback() {
     override fun onStateChanged(bottomSheet: View, newState: Int) {
          when (newState) {
             BottomSheetBehavior.STATE_HIDDEN -> {
                  fragmentManager?.popBackStack()
             }
             //BottomSheetBehavior.STATE_COLLAPSED -> "Collapsed"
             //BottomSheetBehavior.STATE_DRAGGING -> "Dragging..."
             //BottomSheetBehavior.STATE_EXPANDED -> "Expanded"
             //BottomSheetBehavior.STATE_SETTLING -> "Settling..."
           }
      }

      override fun onSlide(bottomSheet: View, slideOffset: Float) {
          //text_view_state!!.text = "Sliding..."
      }
})

And your layout should be like this:

<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layoutDirection="ltr">

    <android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
        android:id="@+id/bottomSheetCoordinatorLayout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:behavior_hideable="true"
        app:behavior_peekHeight="55dp"
        app:layout_behavior="@string/bottom_sheet_behavior">

        <RelativeLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="@drawable/top_radius_primary_color"
            android:paddingStart="@dimen/material_size_32"
            android:paddingEnd="@dimen/material_size_32">

        </RelativeLayout>
    </android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

I hope it helps you

This is not possible till you are using BottomSheetDialogFragment. BottomSheetDialogFragment is a dialog and as behaviour of every dialog, it does not allow user interception on any view behind the dialog, although that is visible to user.

So to achieve this you need to use Fragment instead of BottomSheetDialogFragment. And yes it will require lot of code changes :) and you have to live without BottomSheetDialogFragment if you want to intercept views behind.
