Android MapView: disable pan when dragging on overlay

Issue

in my Android app I have a LinearLayout partially over a MapView and dragging on the layout causes the map to pan.

How can this be avoided? Of course I can't disable pan because dragging on the map itself should move it. See this screenshot for clarification:

Dunno if it's relevant (don't think so): both MapView and LinearLayout are inside a RelativeLayout.

Thanks, Maurizio

Solution

Have your LinearLayout be clickable? Either android:clickable="true" in XML or setClickable(true); in code.
