Fix current Mapview and still handle the onTouch Event (GoogleMaps Android)

Issue

I'm trying to fix a current Location on my MapView in Android, but still want to handle the onTouch Event.

Background: I've some buttons beside my mapView. If i chosoe "move", the normal behaviour of the mapView is required.

If i choose another button, the current map should be locked, so i can draw something on the map. Therefore i need the onTouch-Event of the map...

my only solution to fix the mapView is to setClickable to false... but when i do this, the onTouch Event will no longer be supported...

How can i make it happen?

Sorry for my bad englisch,

daniel

Solution

To avoid having MapView processing motion events, don´t call super.dispatchTouchEvent() and return true;

Example code:

@Override   
public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
    if(drawMode){
        //do my drawing here
        return true;
    } else retrun super.dispatchTouchEvent(ev);   
}

Regards.
