Quickly Disabling Screen

[Soapm]

I use my Samsung Tab S while lecturing and often I will pick it up and walk with it. The screen is so sensitive that I touch it by accident and who knows who might happen??? I would like to turn off the touch feature of the screen so accidental touches don't make me lose my place but I need to be able to quickly turn it back on to advance my presentation.

Is there a widget or way to reprogram one of the buttons to quickly turn on and off the touch feature of the screen?

There are some apps in the Play Store that can help. I haven't used any of them so I can't recommend you one in particular. Check this one and others similar and see if they work for you.

Appears to be perfect, I will give it a test run at bible study tonight... Thanks...

PS to add... Not perfect as previously stated, I noticed it doesn't lock the buttons or the rotation but it's a good start... Thanks again...

The app worked as advertised though it's going to take some getting used to. I wish it could be mapped to the power button because swiping down is distracting when you're talking to a group.
