How limit focus selecting only in the specific container in android?

Question

I write the android application optimized for D-Pad. I have several containers with widgets. The logic requires that user can select widgets in one specific container depending on application state. I there easy way to implement this logic?

Answer 1

At runtime, use View.setFocusable(boolean) for any view. To handle all the items in the container, run through their contents like

    for (int i = 0; i < layout.getChildCount(); i++) {
        View v = layout.getChildAt(i);
        v.setFocusable(false);
    }
