If you are using an fragment over an activity that is set to full screen ie match_parent. Then in the fragments root layout you can set an attribute android:clickable="true" to consume click events. By default layouts such as RelativeLayout , LinearLayout etc don't consume click events. Other views such as Button and TextView have this on by default.

In your overlay fragment.

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"

    android:clickable="true">

</RelativeLayout>
