Android make a screen disable or unclickable

Question

I want to make my android activity unclickable. I have tried Enable/disable an activity programatically but it's not working for me.

I also tried to get relative layout disable but it is not working.

Is there any other ways for making and android activity(full) unclickable?

@Mahfa I have around 25 button. So i have to manually make every button disable. — eswaat, Jan 27 '14 at 18:44
@Mahfa moveTaskToBack(true);"Hide" current Activity and sent to background. Do you know any other function where it's don't sent to background just make it disable. — eswaat, Jan 27 '14 at 18:48

You can create a fake transparent view which takes up with whole screen and place it on top of all views.

private boolean shouldBlockTouches = false;

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

set the shouldBlockTouches where ever you please.

You could set every view as unclickable in the XML:

android:clickable="false"

Yes, but could you provide alternative solution to make this from java code and on button click not from XML. – eswaat Jan 27 '14 at 18:50
Sure, try using setEnabled(false) on each button. That should make them unclickable as well. – bo malone Jan 27 '14 at 18:59
