So, I have two views, a background that covers the screen, and an EditText that I reposition over the screen at various times. They both implement dispatchTouchEvent (as well as zillions of gesture detection methods), but I really only want to operate on one or the other in any given instance. Taps on the background should be processed by the background view and taps on the EditText (my derived subclass) should be processed by that view. I already tried storing the event reference itself and in each dispatchTouchEvent() call, first asking the other view if it already processed that view, but the reference does not change from one action to another -- it's always the same event, so I have resorted to saving the event's eventTime, and that seems to work, but it feels like hack, meaning, I would imagine there is a more direct way to accomplish my goal.
Do you think I'm on the right track or would your recommend a different approach?
