How to cover a WebView with a semi-transparent covering layer that prevents the WebView from being touched?

I'm trying to have a webpage load but I want the user to see the page loading but be unable to interact with it until the page loads. 

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
         android:layout_width="fill_parent"
         android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<WebView  
    android:id="@+id/mainWebview"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    />
<LinearLayout
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:background="#40606060"
    />

I just thought I'd put a semi-transparent, gray layer over it which I would hide when the page has loaded. I think what I need is two views inside some sort of container. This post (Can I overlap the WebView with an ImageButton?) has a similar question but when I use a WebView I can still interact it by scrolling.So I've been using a WebView and a LinearLayout (i've tried an ImageView as well) inside a FrameLayout (I've tried a GridLayout as well).

In both cases, I can cover the WebView just like I want but I can still interact with the Webview by scrolling with my finger and I don't want that. In HTML I would just put one DIV on top of another and it would accomplish this but I'm not sure how to do the equivalent with Android.

Thanks for any help!

Just put your LinearLayout as clickeable = "true"

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:background="#40606060"
    android:clickeable="true"
    />

You can Implement WebViewClient and extend onPageFinished() as follows: 

mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {

   public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
        // do your stuff here
    }
});

you can show progress dialogue when WebView start load the page and dismiss ProgressBar onPageFinished() Method.

Tell me if you have still any query...
