Android Lock OnTouchListener

I have a thread running showing some stuff, but there is also a onTouch event, what I want to do is to lock the OnTouch while the other Thread is running and when it is done then allow the OnTouch to work again..?

How can I achieve this?

Thank you

I would use a flag that indicates if a thread is running. Then you can do this in your onTouch method:

public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
   if (!threadIsRunning) {
      //do you stuff here
   }
}

And in your thread you can set the flag in the run method:

public void run() {
   isThreadRunning = true;
}

As soon as your thread is finished, you set the flag back to false:

isThreadRunning = false;

return false if a thread is running on onTouchListener and True if all thread job is done.
