Android child onTouchListener disabling parent onClick

I have a parent, custom RelativeLayout which inflates two ImageViews: one content image, and a close button in the top right corner.
The issue: I cannot have both the gestures/scaling of the content image functioning AND the close button functioning.
The content image is a custom ImageView subclass (a modification of https://github.com/MikeOrtiz/TouchImageView), which has it's own OnTouchListener to allow for pinch-zooming, and responding to usual gestures.
This OnTouchListener contains the code:
private class PrivateOnTouchListener implements OnTouchListener {
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
mScaleDetector.onTouchEvent(event);
mGestureDetector.onTouchEvent(event);
//....
return true;
Now, if that return is true, the scaling/gestures for the content image works, but the close button onClick is never called, whereas if it's false then the scaling/getures don't work and the onClick can be called.
I don't understand why a return function called AFTER the event is passed to the gesture detector affects (?consumes the event) whether or not the gesture detector works.
Is there a simple way of ensuring the functionality of both child ImageViews, where that return function is false but both detectors still work?
What I've tried:
Ensuring all methods in the gestureDetector return false, so that the event isn't consumed. (The scaleDetector isn't custom, so I haven't done the same there; if you think that's where the problem is let me know)
An onInterceptTouch method in the parent RelativeLayout, but I'm not sure if I implemented that correctly
(Reading around event handling to understand how it works)

Android Multiple events not firing

I have OnTouchListener and OnItemClickListener attached to ListView and for some reason OnTouchListener is getting fired but it stops OnItemClickListener from firing ? Any suggesstion on how to go about this ?

Your OnTouchListener has consumed the touch event.
From here:
check on the return value ...
If you don't wanna consume the event on OnTouchListener , just return false on onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) as suggested by the above link.

Cancel Touch Eventbutt

I am writing an very simple application with following scenario:
1) Screen A have 3 button to move on other screen's.
2) Now if I hold one button(say Button 1) and perform rapid click on other button then it launch multiple instance of other screen. Which I think should not be happened. How can prevent this.
3) and it's more weird. After move on other screen if I don't release Button 1 which was on Screen A then it still allow to perform click for rest of two button of screen A even I can see second screen.
Here it's clear launch second screen but still first screen button event working.
Any idea how can avoid such scenario.

How you are going to disable other buttons while having 1 enabled, that's an algorhytmic problem. You can try creating a boolean or control variable in your activity (and then pass the final reference of the activity to wherever you need it), or in a static context. But to answer the title of the question - you can "Cancel Touch Event" either by adding an OnTouchListener, or if you're extending class Button, you can override onTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) method.
Using OnTouchListener will disable any previously defined touch-event behavior. You can call the actual click event from the inside by calling performClick method from your button.
//in order to use button inside OnTouchEvent, its reference must be final
//if it's not, create a new final reference to your button, like this:
final finalButton = button;
button.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
#Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
// ... additional code if necessary
if(canBeClicked) {
finalButton.performClick();
return true;
}
else return false;
}
}
Overriding onTouchEvent in a class extending Button should look something like this.
#Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
// ... additional code if necessary
//here we don't really need to call performClick(), although API recommends it
//we just send the touch event to the super-class and let it handle the situation.
if(activity.canBeClicked) return super.onTouchEvent(ev);
else return false;
}

One solution that I found is to disable click listener in onPause() and enable it in onResume() . Can we have better support for this?

Android: Is there any way to detect any user input?

on Android! I need to get user input (touch event, keyboard event). is there any way? In java code, It seems there is no way. What about native code?

In java code, It seems there is no way.
=> sorry, there is a way to do detect any action user made and play with application.
Some examples:
KeyboardView.OnKeyboardActionListener
Responding to Touch Events

for touch you can use
mView.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
//show dialog here
return false;
}
});

if your YourActivity implements OnTouchListener you can get the event and where the user touched on the screen:
public class YourActivity extends Activity implements OnTouchListener {
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
System.out.println("I touched: "+event.getX()+"-"+event.getY());
}
}

Actually I don't know what you exactly mean. Do you mean text input on an EditText or in General when something is touched?
If you mean text you can use TextWatcher
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/TextWatcher.html
If you mean on a View directly you can use OnTouchListener as mentioned above.

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#onUserInteraction()
Activity
public void onUserInteraction ()
Added in API level 3 Called whenever a key, touch, or trackball event
is dispatched to the activity. Implement this method if you wish to
know that the user has interacted with the device in some way while
your activity is running. This callback and onUserLeaveHint() are
intended to help activities manage status bar notifications
intelligently; specifically, for helping activities determine the
proper time to cancel a notfication.
All calls to your activity's onUserLeaveHint() callback will be
accompanied by calls to onUserInteraction(). This ensures that your
activity will be told of relevant user activity such as pulling down
the notification pane and touching an item there.
Note that this callback will be invoked for the touch down action that
begins a touch gesture, but may not be invoked for the touch-moved and
touch-up actions that follow.

How can I get all of touch events in my activity even in drag mode?

I want to get x and y position of every touch point in my activity even in drag mode. When I implement onTouchEvent method of my activity, it does not get all of touch events. How can I do that?
Thanks in advance,
public class MyActivity extends Activity {
#Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
// my Code
return super.onTouchEvent(event);
}
}
This onTouchEvent method just rises when you touch around the activity.

Do you have any other View which handle touch events?
The documentation says:
Called when a touch screen event was not handled by any of the views
under it. This is most useful to process touch events that happen
outside of your window bounds, where there is no view to receive it.
So when you say you don't get any events when you are in drag mode, this implies that you're dragging some thing. So you already handling the events somewhere else and therefore the onTouchEvent() method won't be notified.
You can try to return false in the other TouchListener's onTouch() method so the event will bubble up further more.
