I'm trying to create a Login ViewStub that will overlay the Welcome Activity when customers select the login button. However, I'm running into a problem. My stub will open when clicking login, but the buttons on my Welcome Activity won't dim. Also, do I need to make my background view of my stub wrap content so it can cover the whole screen? Or should I use a different technique from a stub to accomplish what I’m trying to do? Thank you!

val loginButton = findViewById<Button>(R.id.loginButton)
loginButton.setOnClickListener {

loginStub.inflate()
}
Got it, I had to set the alpha of each button.
val loginButton = findViewById<Button>(R.id.loginButton)
val signUpButton = findViewById<Button>(R.id.signUpButton)
val guestButton = findViewById<Button>(R.id.continueAsGuestButton)
loginButton.setOnClickListener {
val loginStub = findViewById<ViewStub>(R.id.loginStub)
loginStub.inflate()
loginButton.alpha = 0.25f
loginButton.isEnabled = false
signUpButton.alpha = 0.25f
signUpButton.isEnabled = false
guestButton.alpha = 0.25f
guestButton.isEnabled = false
}
