Block touch event in view

Add an onTouchEvent method to the view with top position then return true. True will tell the event bubbling that the event was consumed therefore prevent event from bubbling to other views.

protected boolean onTouchEvent (MotionEvent me) {
    return true;
}

For v1 you would do an import:

import android.view.View.OnTouchListener;

Then set the onTouchListener:

v1.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
        return true;
    }
});
