GestureOverlayView hiding its child/hidden behind parent

Question

I have problem with gesture overlay.

I have designed a gallery with split view. And over that I want gesture recognition. Earlier I didnt have a split view, so that time I was using gesture overlay as parent, it was working fine. But now in split layout its not getting focus. Please check if I m doing something wrong. Thanks in Advance.
