How to prevent touch passing through UI ?

Hi guys,

I saw a lot of other questions about this topic but none of them solved my problem. I need to prevent touch passing through UI on mobile. I have some buttons on the main menu and I need to make the game start when touching anywhere on the screen except touching over UI because buttons have their onclick functions and I don't want to start the game and display the settings panel on the same time.

Is there any solution about this ?

Thank you.

I just found out the mistake in my code...I am posting the solution though :P

In the Update() function put this code:

 if (Input.touchCount > 0) {
   if (Input.GetTouch (0).phase == TouchPhase.Ended) {
     if (EventSystem.current.currentSelectedGameObject == null) 
 {
 //here you can put the stuff you want to happen when touching or clicking anywhere except UI...
 }

Sorry to bother guys. :)
