title: View switches: how to block user interaction in-between?
body: <p>I use a view switcher to switch between views in a way that is similar to standard activities switching in a task. For example, the current view in the switcher might have a button that, when clicked, initiates the view switch: the current view, which is now obsolete, slides out, and is replaced by the new current view, which slides in.</p>
  
  <p>The animated switch is fine only for one thing: I cannot find a correct way to tell the sliding out view to stop processing user events, like touch events. So what happens is, if done fast enough, and it doesn't have to be that fast, the user can click on the button that initiates the view switch more than once, which is bad. Once a click (or any user action) has initiated a view switch, I would like to invalidate and ignore all other user events on the sliding out view.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a clean, standard way to do so? I've tried setEnabled(false) on the sliding out view, but it seems click listeners in child views are still handled afterward. The thing I want to avoid is looking for all event handlers and adding verification code that ensures that nothing is done if the view is actually sliding out.</p>
