How to disable touch input using proximity sensor in android?

Question

I want to disable the input from the screen(mainly touch inputs) using proximity sensor.

The screen input must be disabled and enabled by the proximity sensor change.

I have searched many questions here, but didn't find any suitable answer.

This is the onSensorChanged method:

public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
 if (event.values[0] == 0) {

   Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "sensor in 0",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

 } else {

   Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "sensor in 1",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

  } 
}

This is the code I tried but the application become crashed:

 Dialog overlayDialog = new Dialog(getApplicationContext(), android.R.style.Theme_Panel);
 overlayDialog.setCancelable(true);
 overlayDialog.show();
