Android GridView click not being detected

Question

I have the following LinearLayout with a GridView in it:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <GridView
        android:id="@+id/songs_grid"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:clickable="true"
        android:columnWidth="250dp"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:horizontalSpacing="10dp"
        android:numColumns="auto_fit"
        android:verticalSpacing="10dp" />

</LinearLayout>

The GridView data is supplied by a custom adapter (using a simple ViewHolder):

public class SongsAdapter extends BaseAdapter {

    private Context context;

    private LayoutInflater mInflater;

    private ArrayList<Song> songList;

    public SongsAdapter(Context context, ArrayList<Song> songList)
    {
        this.context = context;

        this.songList = songList;

        mInflater = LayoutInflater.from(this.context);
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount()
    {
        return songList.size();
    }

    public Object getItem(int position)
    {
        return songList.get(position);
    }

    public long getItemId(int position)
    {
        return position;
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)
    {
        SongViewHolder viewHolder;

        if (convertView == null)
        {
            convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.song_list_item, null);

            viewHolder = new SongViewHolder();

            //Get Views from Layout Template
            viewHolder.AlbumArt = (ImageView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.albumart);
            viewHolder.Title = (TextView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.title);
            viewHolder.Artist = (TextView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.artist);
        }
        else
        {
            viewHolder = (SongViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
        }

        Song song = songList.get(position);

        Bitmap bitmap = song.getAlbumArt();
        Bitmap missing = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(), R.drawable.albumart_missing);

        Bitmap albumArt = bitmap == null ? missing  : bitmap;

        viewHolder.AlbumArt.setImageBitmap(albumArt);
        viewHolder.Title.setText(song.getTitle());
        viewHolder.Artist.setText(song.getArtist());

        convertView.setTag(viewHolder);

        return convertView;
    }
}

When the app starts it gets a list of songs (from xml but currently using a manually entered list) and passes that to the my adapter and then sets the OnItemClickListener:

GridView gridView = (GridView) findViewById(R.id.songs_grid);
gridView.setAdapter(new SongsAdapter(this, fk.getSongList()));

gridView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener()
{
    @Override
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id)
    {
        LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout)view;

        TextView songTitle = (TextView)layout.findViewById(R.id.song_title);

        Song song = fk.getSong((String) songTitle.getText());

        if(song != null)
        {
            Intent play = new Intent(getBaseContext(), Play.class);
            startActivity(play);
        }
    }
});

When I first implemented this code, it all worked fine, and I am sure I haven't changed anything. I was trying to make the text for Song Title scroll in a marquee fashion if it was too long, but couldn't get it working. During this phase I discovered that the click stopped working. I have now removed (I believe) all that code, but it still fails.

When I touch/click (whatever you call it) nothing happens. no errors nothing.

Is there anything wrong with my code that would cause this issue?

Answer 1

Check your item layout. If any of the song_list_item layout views are marked as clickable they will block the grid's onclick listener from responding.

Answer 2

Make sure that the clickable-attribute in the GridView does not override the click-events for the items in the view.
