[Solved] Prevent TextView component from detecting touch

blfngl
SOLVED: The component was an EditText rather than TextView lul

Hi there, some questions about preventing a component from detecting touch from users (like the title). I'm developing an app that has a background rendered with OpenGL that also has a few TextView components layered on top of them:

The desired functionality is so that each horizontal half of the "triangles" can be pressed, with the left side (if oriented towards oneself) decreasing the number and the right incrementing it.

My current struggle is removing the ability for the TextView components to be interacted with, as they greatly reduce the "clickable" areas within the triangles:

As you can see, when you press directly on the TextView the component highlights itself and prevents the touch from being detected by the OpenGL layer.

Solutions I've tried:
  • Adding
    XML: 
    android:focusable="false"
    and
    XML: 
    android:clickable="false"
    to the component in my activity's XML. Does not work. The second screenshot has both of those attributes currently set to false.
  • Translating the TextView so that its Z value is less than the OpenGL layer: this hides the text (obviously).
  • Creating a third layer to overlay on top of both TextView and OpenGL layers; essentially changing the current OpenGL layer to a background and moving the touch detection code to an invisible or translucent layer at the top of the stack.
    • I haven't worked with OpenGL in a long time and would need to spend a lot of research figuring out how to create invisible or translucent shapes, so I was going to attempt this only if necessary.
Is there anything that I'm missing or overlooking? Anyone know any solutions for a problem like this?

I really do need to credit @AndyXen here as after our upgrade to Xenforo 2.2 he volunteered to solve our login problem for free when nobody else could solve it. He's also got literally HUNDREDS of add-ons, some of which we're using on the site now. For anyone who wanders into this thread that is curious, his XF2 add-ons can be found here: XF2 Addons

Help Android Tablet as Good as My Phone?

Windroid
I'm having a similar problem with my own tablet (a Surface Go 3 running both Windows and Android): One of my more demanding video-games can get slow on my tablet, after it's been running long enough to make my tablet's back hot. So I've ordered a cooling fan for my tablet, this cooling fan. My understanding is: You put a magnetic sticker on the back of the tablet, and that sticker allows you to easily attach and detach the fan to the tablet.

I can not vouch for this product yet, because I haven't received it (the package is still shipping). But after I receive it and try it out, I'll let you folks know how it's worked. If I don't by the end of March, someone remind me to update this post.

Point is: You may not need a new tablet @aarelovich. You may just need a way to get more power out of the tablet you have, such as a colling fan.

Help S9 screen *mostly* black when unlocking

F
I know this is old but for anyone else who has this what stopped it for me was turning brightness up to max and turning off 'adaptive brightness'. It started it on my Galaxy s9 while playing an app so I uninstalled it. I waited about a week and I never had another problem. I recently tried reinstalling this game and the same issue started again. I uninstalled the app and it stopped. So try and see if those help and try uninstalling any new apps. I was about to buy a new phone.

Microsoft Surface Laptop Go

I'm sad to hear your computer broke. I have a Surface Go, which is much like the Surface Laptop Go, and I love it! It's both a laptop (with the keyboard attachment) and a tablet, and I run both Android and Windows on it.

But then, I like my Surface because it is a tablet, I can hold it in my hand and all. You said your Surface felt like a netbook, does that mean it's smaller than you'd like? Maybe you didn't like your Surface for the same reason I like my Surface.

yeah i should have bought the surface laptop vs the surface go. i probably will not get a surface computer any more. i really love my zenbook right now. and i am glad that i have my pixelbook as a backup. if am traveling, i'll probably bring my pixelbook as it is very thin and lightweight.

Best OS for the Note 3?

Windroid
My 7th Gen. Kindle Fire runs Android 5, however, mine is getting security updates at least until the start of 2024. The Android 5 on your Note 3 probably isn't getting security updates, so I don't recommend using your Note unless you can get it onto a more modern system. But if you're going to use your Note anyway, here's a list of browsers that are still getting updates on Android 5. Use one of those browsers! You don't want a browser without security updates, on top of an operating system without security updates.
