Pass click event through the view android

Question

I have frame layout:

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_margin="10dp" >

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/widgetView"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="center"
    android:layout_margin="10dp"
    android:gravity="center" >
</LinearLayout>

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/widgetOverlayFrame"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:clickable="false" >
</LinearLayout>

First layout contains widget layout, and second one is transparent and receives onLongClick for dragging method.That works, the problem is when i want to interact with widget, to click something, click event is taken by overlayFrame. How can i pass click event trough overlayFrame to widgetView?

EDIT:

Now I'm trying to attach GestureLister to overlayFrame LinearLayout, to somehow see difference between MotionEvent that represent single click and long click. The problem that I'm facing is that OnLongPress in gesture listener is always called whatever I do, single click or long click.

Is there an explanation for this behavior? Tnx!

In my case I added flag to layoutParams of my view, which should have passed a touch event under:

WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCHABLE

This way view will ignore all touches (like view with visibility GONE)
