After much searching, I found what is the culprit...its a PopupWindow. AbsListView always shows this PopupWindow when the filter text is set. It is translucent, but completely blocks any touch events going to views behind it.
There is currently NO way to turn this off. There is no xml attribute to set on list, showPopup() is private and dismissPopup() is package private. I would like to turn this off and currently there is no way. Opening an API request to make this configurable. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=936 On Oct 2, 3:20 pm, Nik Bhattacharya <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am using a ListView and using the setTextFilterEnabled function. > Everything works great, except I get a semi-transparent black overlay > that has the text that I am setting as the filter.
