How to attach onClickListener to an invisible view

I want to attach an onClickListener to an ImageView which is made INVISIBLE. I know I could set it to the TRANSPARENT color but due to certain reasons I don't want to do that and an INVISIBLE ImageView is not listening to clicks. Is there any way to achieve the required thing?

No, INVISIBLE views don't receive touch events. However there are a few alternatives you can use:

  • Set the view's alpha to 0. This would make it fully transparent.
  • Create a 2nd view of the exact same size above the view and put the click handler on that.
  • Put a touch handler on the parent and check if in the area of the invisible view when you detect a click.

Least work is probably top to bottom on that list.
