android - Gather Touches from MainActivity -

i want gather possible touches entire screen. implemented a

@override    public boolean ontouchevent(motionevent e)     {        double x = e.getx();        double y = e.gety();     } 

but added tableview "scene" , when click on above method not being called because tableview swallowing touches.

everything around yellow area clickable yellow area not. want clickable well, want time whole screen area clickable can store touch positions. how it?

edit: ontouchevent method in mainactivity class. here activity_main.xml

<linearlayout         xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"         android:id="@+id/linearlayout1"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="match_parent"         android:orientation="vertical">      <scrollview         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="match_parent" >          <tablelayout             android:id="@+id/tablelayout1"             android:layout_width="match_parent"             android:layout_height="match_parent"             android:padding="10dp"             android:shrinkcolumns="*"             android:stretchcolumns="*" >              <tablerow android:layout_height="wrap_content">                 <textview                     android:id="@+id/column1"                     android:text="tapcount"                     android:layout_height="wrap_content"                     />             </tablerow>          </tablelayout>     </scrollview>     </linearlayout> 

cover whole view own transparent, this:

<relativelayout>     <linearlayout         android:layout_height="fill_parent"         android:layout_width="fill_parent">             <!--your content inside-->     </linearlayout>     <view         android:id="@+id/cover"         android:layout_height="fill_parent"         android:layout_width="fill_parent"/> </relativelayout> 

then use code view id=cover , return false in ontouchevent in doc:

returns true if event handled, false otherwise.

with false hardcoded motionevent delivered views below/under
