If you want to both OnTouch and OnClick listener to parent and child view both  please use below trick    User ScrollView as a Parent view and inside that placed your child view inside Relative LinearLayout  Make Parent ScrollView android fillViewport  true  so View not be scrolled  Then set OnTouch listener to parent and OnClick listener to Child views  And enjoy both listener callbacks

I think you need to use one of those methods in order to be able to intercept the event before it gets sent to the appropriate components   Activity dispatchTouchEvent MotionEvent  - This allows your Activity to intercept all touch events before they are dispatched to the window   ViewGroup onInterceptTouchEvent MotionEvent  - This allows a ViewGroup to watch events as they are dispatched to child Views   ViewParent requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent boolean  - Call this upon a parent View to indicate that it should not intercept touch events with onInterceptTouchEvent MotionEvent    More information here   Hope that helps

Sometime only this helps   View child   parent findViewById R id btnMoreText       child setOnClickListener new OnClickListener               Override         public void onClick View v                View parent    View  v getParent                parent performClick                        Another variant  works not always   child setOnClickListener null

This answer is similar to Alexander Ukhov s answer  except that it uses touch events rather than click events   Those event allow the parent to display the proper pressed states  e g   ripple effect    This answer is also in Kotlin instead of Java   view setOnTouchListener   view  motionEvent - gt       view parent as View  onTouchEvent motionEvent

Declare your TextView not clickable   focusable by using android clickable  false  and android focusable  false  or v setClickable false  and v setFocusable false   The click events should be dispatched to the TextView s parent now   Note   In order to achieve this  you have to add click to its direct parent  or set  android clickable  false  and android focusable  false  to its direct parent to pass listener to further parent
