Add a view overlay on map view android

I am using the MapView from the Google Map Android SDK in full screen, but I have a requirement to display another transparent full view over the mapview. The overlay displays as expected, however, the map can be controlled (markers can be clicked, map can be moved) despite the overlay being on it.

How can I ensure the overlay prevents the map from being controllable when in view?

Solution

  • Add following on your overlay view parent layout.

    android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:clickable="true"

    Remember you need to place above line on parent layout of overlay view
