title: transparent activity blocks touch
body: <p>I am creating an app which is basically an activity that automatically runs starts a service.
  I have defined the activity as transparent, just like the post here suggests : </p>
  
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2176922/how-to-create-transparent-activity-in-android">How do I create a transparent Activity on Android?</a></p>
  
  <p>however when the app starts, the transparent activity makes the phone "locked". I can't press anything . 
  I know that it's because I am currently focused on a transparent activity, but I thought transparent also means that everything underneath it is clickable.</p>
  
  <p>how do I fix that?</p>
  
  <p>my manifest :</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      package="com.imagine.imagineinputmanager"&gt;
  
      &lt;uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"/&gt;
  
      &lt;application
  
  
          android:allowBackup="true"
          android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
          android:label="@string/app_name"
          android:supportsRtl="true"
          android:theme="@style/AppTheme"&gt;
  
          &lt;activity
              android:name=".MainActivity"
              android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"&gt;
              &lt;intent-filter&gt;
                  &lt;action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/&gt;
                  &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/&gt;
              &lt;/intent-filter&gt;
  
          &lt;/activity&gt;
  
          &lt;receiver android:name=".BootReceiver"&gt;
  
              &lt;intent-filter&gt;
                  &lt;action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"/&gt;
              &lt;/intent-filter&gt;
  
          &lt;/receiver&gt;
  
          &lt;service android:name=".InputService"&gt;
              &lt;intent-filter&gt;
                  &lt;action android:name=".InputBinder"/&gt;
              &lt;/intent-filter&gt;
          &lt;/service&gt;
  
      &lt;/application&gt;
  
  &lt;/manifest&gt;
