How to disable touch detection while Google Map animation is running in android

Question

When I use the method below to execute an animation on google map, the animation ends if we touch the screen while animation is executing.

googleMap.animateCamera(
                        CameraUpdateFactory.newCameraPosition(cameraPosition1),400,
                        new CancelableCallback() {

                              @Override
                              public void onFinish() {
                              }

                              @Override
                              public void onCancel() {
                              }
        });

I have tried disabling the touch detection using the code below

mapFragment.getView().setEnabled(false); 

googleMap.getUiSettings().setAllGesturesEnabled(false);

but the application detects touch despite the above lines. How do you correctly disable touch?

Answer 1

Don't use setEnabled(false) for the view instead use setClickable(false)

mapFragment.getView().setClickable(false);

This should work.

EDIT

Apparently this is bug filed here

as a work around you can deploy a transparent layer which will receive touch events instead of MapFragment .
