Seekbar focus not wanted

I am using a SeekBar in my layout and I have another View that is a RelativeLayout.

<CoordinatorLayout>

    <RelativeLayout>
    ...
    </RelativeLayout>

    <SeekBar
        android:id="@+id/progressSeekBar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:progress="70"
        android:progressDrawable="@drawable/player_seek_bar_progress"/>

</CoordinatorLayout>

And when I touch this RelativeLayout, the SeekBar gains the focus... I don't find any problem in my layout even in my code...

Does someone have the same issue?

Thanks guys for your answers :)

Simply set android:clickable="true" and android:focusable="true" as a SeekBar XML attributes. After doing so the SeekBar will not get focus when you click on parent layout.

    <SeekBar
            android:id="@+id/seekBar"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"

            android:clickable="true" 
            android:focusable="true"

            />

I've just had the exact same problem. My layout looks something like the following (I omitted irrelevant views for this topic). As you can see, both the parent view (the LinearLayout) and the SeekBar have android:clickable="true" property.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:clickable="true"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <SeekBar
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:clickable="true" />
</LinearLayout>

How to solve it? :]

Here's what I've found in the source code for #android.view.ViewGroup#dispatchSetPressed (this is the event that gets called each time the user touches the screen)

It loops through every child view, and if it matches the following condition, it propagates the event to this child view:

if (!pressed || (!child.isClickable() && !child.isLongClickable())) {  
  child.setPressed(pressed); 
}

Basically, if your child view (in this case, the SeekBar is either clickable or long clickable, you will not propagate the event to it. In addition, there's a comment that says the following:

Children that are clickable on their own should not show a pressed state when their parent view does. Clearing a pressed state always propagates.

The situation this comment is describing is the same as you are facing right now. If you set the SeekBar as clickable, Android knows that is has to react to click events directly in the SeekBar, and it will not propagate the event.

This worked for me. Hope it will work for you too.

mSeekBar = (SeekBar) v.findViewById(R.id.progressSeekBar);
mSeekBar.setFocusable(false);

Have you tried programmatically setting your SeekBar? This seemed to work for me, but setting the XML attribute to android:focusable="false" did not.

<SeekBar
    android:id="@+id/progressSeekBar"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:progress="70"
    android:progressDrawable="@drawable/player_seek_bar_progress"
    android:focusable="false"/>
