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

Most likely that should work. I was wondering if there was a property or something more straightforward than that.

Ah I see well then you might want to try to give your WebView this layout parameter android:clickable="false". I'm not sure if it works but theoretically it should as WebView is inherited from View.

Doesn't work but I've found another solution which I posted.

A:
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.
