I believe this happens because the TextView is above the Linear Layout. easy fix for this is to put a View on top of all of them maybe using FrameLayout then putting an empty view with transparent background and listen to click from that Empty view instead.

<View
    android:id="@+id/viewClickLayer"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:clickable="true"
    android:focusable="true" />

and on the java

viewClickLayer.setOnClickListener {
        //do anything you want here
}
