How to disable Clicking of WebView?

Question

I have Linear Layout which contains Only WebView. What i want to do is to disable the click in Webview, means I want the event to be called associated with RelativeLayout bg_stepsContainer. I've used the android:clickable="false" Here is code

 <RelativeLayout
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:minHeight="30dp" 
                    android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
                    android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
                    android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
                    android:layout_marginBottom="5dp"
                    android:id="@+id/bg_stepsContainer"
                    >

                <LinearLayout
                    android:id="@+id/stepslcontainer"
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
                    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"

                    android:clickable="false"
                    android:focusable="false"
                    android:focusableInTouchMode="false" >

                    <WebView
                        android:id="@+id/bg_stepsToReproduce"
                        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                        android:clickable="false"
                        android:focusable="false"
                        android:focusableInTouchMode="false" 

                        android:textColor="@color/solid_black" />

                    </LinearLayout>
                    <ImageView
                        android:id="@+id/stepsArrow"
                        android:layout_width="10dp"
                        android:layout_height="10dp"
                        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
                       android:clickable="false"
                        android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
                        android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
                        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
                        android:src="@drawable/ic_right_arrow" />

 </RelativeLayout>

mWebView.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
       return true;
    }  
});

Using android:clickable="false" does not disable touch events.
