Is it possible to detect View click if it is drawn outside of it's parent?

Question

I have a RelativeLayout with clipChildren="false". Then I have a view inside of it which has marginTop="-50dp".

So 50dp of the View inside RelativeLayout is actually drawn outside of RelativeLayout.

Now the problem is that the 50dp that is outside of RelativeLayout is not clickable, since it's outside of it's parent.

Is it possible to detect this click, or am I going to have to find another way to set up the layout?

a possible way is to get x/y of touch events and if these values are inside the view, fire your method. — Opiatefuchs, Apr 15 '16 at 07:55
wrap your `RelativeLayout` inside another `RelativeLayout` and perform it's click event — V-rund Puro-hit, Apr 15 '16 at 10:05
Why do you need to do "-50dp".You can simply create nested Layouts and your view will be clickable. — Lips_coder, Apr 27 '16 at 11:23

It seems like the answer is simple no.

I ended up completely changing my view hierarchy to get the View click working. If anyone has a better answer, please do post it and I will accept yours.
