Click event in Fragment leaks to the parent Activity layout

Question

I am adding a Fragment fragment with clickable views to my Activity.

I have noticed that if I click on a point inside that Fragment which does not have any OnClickListener, the click event leaks to the layout below, in this case, the Activity layout. If there is a view with its own OnClickListener in that point, its code is executed. I can prevent this click by adding a dummy OnClickListener to the Fragment background but I want to know if there is a better option.

Thanks

It would be helpful to include some of your current code in your question. — Loren, Dec 26 '17 at 17:06

You can simply add

android:clickable="true"

property to the parent view of your layout as described here or here.

set background color to your fragment layout and set layout width and height to match parent. May be it will solve your problem
