How can i disable the panning/zooming functionality of a MapView (not the zoom controls, i want a wholly static map)?
I've also noticed that touching the map doesn't seem to trigger the MapView onClickListener, could anyone elaborate why?

For version 2 of the Google Maps API for Android, this is the way:
map.getUiSettings().setScrollGesturesEnabled(false); answered Jun 16, 2013 at 17:31

doesnt disable all gestures. Check my answer
This is gauranteed to work
mapView.getMap().getUiSettings().setAllGesturesEnabled(false); 
Use android:clickable="false" in your layout file.

Oh, i see what's going on now, it seems my attemps to setOnClickListener on the mapView were causing the scrolling despite android:clickable="false" being set in the layout file

There still remains the issue of OnClickListener on a mapView

@Julius:
MapView is closed source. There is nobody who will answer your onClickListener question.Please use Overlay to get the tap event on the map

I had the same question and the following solution is the best one I could find and that fulfilled my requirements:
mapView.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() { public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) { if(event.getPointerCount() > 1) { return true; } return false; } }); As posted by Alexander Stolz here:
How to disable pinch in Android MapView
And here is the reason:
It does not disable clicking on the mapView completely - it only grabs & prevents two-finger gestures (for zooming you need two fingers) - tapping on the map (for instance on Overlays) still works.

this is the right way
@Override public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) { switch (ev.getAction()&MotionEvent.ACTION_MASK) { case (MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN): { // do what you want // you may scroll map where you want // don't use 'break', the same in case pointer events; //break; return true; } } // 'super' go to the mapView procedures and scroll map in own algorithm return super.dispatchTouchEvent(ev); }

on your onMapReady method, add these code lines
gMap.getUiSettings().setZoomGesturesEnabled(false); to disable all the guesures
gMap.getUiSettings().setAllGesturesEnabled(false); happy coding :)
