overlapping rotated buttons - on click behind one comes to front

Question

I'm programmatically creating two overlapping buttons in a RelativeLayout. Both buttons have different angles so you can press each one. When I press the button on the bottom it comes to front. What should I do so that the button remains behind the other one?

Edit: I forgot to say, that I'm turning the buttons with a RotationAnimation and fillAfter. Without the animation the button remains on the bottom. My min. api is 8, because of that i have to use the anomation.

Edit 2: I'm throwing 78 cards randomly in a RelativeLayout. On that way I'm creating a pile of cards. When I click a card, which is under another card, it comes to front.

    ImageButton card;
    Random random = new Random();
    RotateAnimation cardRotation;
    int x = 0;
    int y = 0;
    int angle = 0;

    for(int i=0;i<78;i++) {
        x = random.nextInt(fieldWidth + 1 - cardHeight - cardHeight / 4) + cardHeight / 4;
        y = random.nextInt(fieldHeight + 1 - cardHeight - cardHeight / 2) + cardHeight / 2;
        angle = random.nextInt(360 + 1);
        angle = random.nextInt(360 + 1);

        card = new ImageButton(this);
        card.setScaleType(ScaleType.FIT_XY);
        card.setImageResource(R.drawable.card_back);

        RelativeLayout.LayoutParams cardParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(cardWidth, cardHeight);
        cardParams.leftMargin = x;
        cardParams.topMargin = y;
        card.setLayoutParams(cardParams);

        cardRotation = new RotateAnimation(0, angle, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.5f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.5f);
        cardRotation.setDuration(0);
        cardRotation.setFillAfter(true);
        card.startAnimation(cardRotation);

        card.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                cardClicked(v);
            }
        });

        cardField.addView(card);
    }

Try this for the button at the back.

android:focusableInTouchMode="false"

Thanks, but doesn't work because i use RotationAnimation. I forgot to say that. – bluerob Mar 15 '14 at 21:59
Please add your code. That will make things clearer. – AndyFaizan Mar 16 '14 at 06:39
I have added it. I'm throwing 78 cards randomly in a RelativeLayout. On that way I'm creating a pile of cards. When I click a card, which is under another card, it comes to front. – bluerob Mar 16 '14 at 12:21
So card.setFocusableOnTouchMode(false) isn't working? – AndyFaizan Mar 16 '14 at 13:28
Can you post the rest of your code? It can be tested easily then – AndyFaizan Mar 16 '14 at 18:58
