Passing the onTouch() event to the underlying ViewGroup

Question

If I have several ViewGroups overlap each other. Is it possible to pass the onTouch() event of a ViewGroup to the underlying ViewGroup?

Each ViewGroup contains Views. But if a touch occurs in an area of a ViewGroup where no View that it contains occupies it, I would like to pass that onTouch() event to the next underlying ViewGroup which also contains Views.

As per I understand your question,

The main ViewGroup consume the touch event first, in that case,

Just inflate your layout and make a View..

then using that view define which view you have to use and setOnTouch().. to that view..

For example:

LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.xmllayout, null);
ImageView image_view = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.imagView);

image_view.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener()
                {
    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event)
    {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return false;
    }
});
