Disable WebView touch events in Android

Question

How do you disable all touch events in an Android WebView (or scrolling in particular)? I would like the activity to handle all touch events.

Solution 1

mWebView.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
        return true;
    }
});

Disables all touch events on a WebView because the touch listener is executed before the default touch behavior of the WebView. By returning true the event is consumed and isn't propagated to the WebView.

Using android:clickable="false" does not disable touch events.

Solution 2

If I got you right you just have to overwrite the onTouchEvent method.
