Making View clickable, not the Edittext inside the View

Question

I have an EditText that is wrapped in a TextInputLayout that is inside a LinearLayout and I want to show a fragment when the LinearLayout is touched. However the EditText is intercepting the touch.

I tried setting focusable="false" and clickable="false" on the EditText and the TextInputLayout but now the touch doesn't do anything except change the hint color slightly for a little bit.

I don't want to set enabled="false" because of the grayed out style color changes.

My xml:

<LinearLayout
            android:id="@+id/type_layout"
            android:orientation="vertical"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content">

            <android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
                android:id="@+id/type_input_layout"
                android:clickable="false"
                android:focusable="false">

                <EditText
                    android:id="@+id/type_input"
                    android:hint="Type"
                    android:text="Public"
                    android:clickable="false"
                    android:focusable="false"
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:inputType="textNoSuggestions|textMultiLine"
                    android:background="@color/transparent"
                    android:gravity="left"
                    android:textSize="22sp"/>

            </android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

        </LinearLayout>

My solution for now: just put a view on top of the edittext

Try android:enabled="false". I'm not sure but it might work.

Try using android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants" on your LinearLayout to make children view not focusable.

You can also try using both focusable properties

android:focusable="false"
android:focusableInTouchMode="false"

EDIT:

Try android:duplicateParentState="true" for every child view of the LinearLayout. You can also look at this question. There is someone mentioning that inputType on EditText can intercept the click.

Is the EditText still focusable? – Nicolas May 10 '17 at 02:03
the edittext is not focusable, but I still can't get the LinearLayout's onClick to trigger – nic May 10 '17 at 02:04
I removed the input type on the edittext and set android:duplicateParentState="true" on the textinputlayout, same issue. – nic May 10 '17 at 02:17

In xml for EditText you should declare:

        android:clickable="false"
        android:longClickable="false"

This will make it not able to take over the click.
