Dispatch touch event to child in custom viewgroup

Question

Is there any way to dispatch touch event only to specific child in custom view group with stacked children.

Managing touch events in a viewgroup should help. Try this - http://developer.android.com/training/gestures/viewgroup.html — Anukool, Sep 17 '13 at 09:12

For as long as you have reference on both, the child you want to receive the event and the parent, you can implement the parent to pass the touch to the child you wish to receive it.

can you post the code of the View?

So you can make something like:

@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(Event e){
  childToGetTheEvent.onTouchEvent(e);
}

Or is there any reason you cant do something like this?
