Can't draw on canvas & listen touch to view simultaneously

Question

My main activity contains a textView. It does run an animation if touch. In the same screen i can draw line (example) with an extending view.

OnTouchEvent from canvas must return true but then onTouch from textView will never get it.

I want that touch screen work for both. How can i do that ?

MainActivity.java

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    TextView tv,lettres;
    TranslateAnimation animation;
    ConstraintLayout constraintLayout;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        tv = findViewById(R.id.tv);
        tv.setX(100);
        tv.setY(100);
        constraintLayout = findViewById(R.id.cl);
        lettres = new TextView(this);
        constraintLayout.addView(lettres);
        lettres.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        lettres.setText("test");
        tv.setOnTouchListener(touchListener);
    }

    private View.OnTouchListener touchListener = new View.OnTouchListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent motionEvent) {
            if (view == tv){

                        lettres.setX(50);
                        lettres.setY(50);
                        animation = new TranslateAnimation(0,10,0,10);
                        lettres[i].startAnimation(animation[i]);
           }
            return false;
        }
    };
}

Answer 1

because your main layout consumes the touch event. and you return true inside onTouchEvent
