Erel, I'm basically looking for android capability similar to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13346111/draw-overlay-in-android-system-wide, but from b4a. I would like to be able to programmatically change whether events are consumed, or passed through to underlying app. Preferably the overlay capability (and perhaps more generically any WM.LayoutParams functionality?) is provided so that it can be incorporated into a service I create.
