ListView doesn't respond to OnItemClickListener

There will be case that your custom list item doesn’t respond when you click…so what’s the reason and what’s the solution?

Here several problems and solutions:

1. Scenario: list item layout contains CheckBox

Problem: OnItemClickListener doesn’t respond.

Reason: CheckBox is also having its own click listener by default to change its state, and it overrides the container ListView.

Solution: remove focus on CheckBox by setting these attributes to “false”

    	android:focusable="false"
    	android:focusableInTouchMode="false"

2. Scenario: random

Problem: OnItemClickListener just doesn’t repond any at all!!!!

Reason: No idea..

Solution: in code, just set OnItemClickListener before setting Adapter. It works randomly @@!

3. Scenario: list item contains ImageButton

Problem: OnItemClickListener just doesn’t repond any at all!!!!

Reason: No idea!!!

Solution: in code, set ImageButton focus to “false”

ImageButton button = (ImageButton) convertView.findViewById(R.id.imageButton);
button.setFocusable(false);

4. Scenario: list item contain TextView

Problem: OnItemClickListener just doesn’t repond.

Reason: I think you have set this attribute to TextView: android:inputType=”textMultiLine”

Solution: just remove that attribute, using android:minLines/android:maxLines instead.

5. Scenario: list item contain a TextView that is linked to website URL or whatever “mailto:” things

Problem: OnItemClickListener just doesn’t repond.

Reason: the TextView overrides focus of list item.

Solution: just remove attribute “android:autoLink” on TextView.

 

Hope you solve your problems!
