Android list view setOnItemClickListener not working

Question

I want to hide the edit text and button field initially in list view and show that edit text and button for a particular raw in list view when that raw is clicked.So I tried to set the height to 0 in layout xml and then set it to some other value when user clicks on a raw, but it is not working I think my list view click event is not working. In the Android layout that I have list view there are Image view as a button, edit text field and list view also. Like follows

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context=".MainPortal" >

<ListView
    android:id="@+id/employeeListView"
    android:layout_width="650dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
    android:layout_marginRight="25dp"
    android:clickable="true">
</ListView>

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/empPin"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_above="@+id/iv_start_journey_btn"
    android:layout_marginBottom="56dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="17dp"
    android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/employeeListView"
    android:ems="10"
    android:inputType="number"
    android:hint="@string/add_emp_pin_hint" >

    <requestFocus />
</EditText>

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/iv_start_journey_btn"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/employeeListView"
    android:layout_alignRight="@+id/empPin"
    android:layout_marginBottom="84dp"
    android:onClick="startJourney"
    android:src="@drawable/start" />

</RelativeLayout>

I have used following custom lay out for the list view

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/emp_avatar"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:layout_marginTop="18dp"
    android:adjustViewBounds="true"
    android:maxHeight="80dp"
    android:maxWidth="80dp"
    android:src="@drawable/person" />

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/emp_number"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignTop="@+id/emp_avatar"
    android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/emp_avatar"
    android:text="Medium Text"
    android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/empPin"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/emp_avatar"
    android:layout_alignRight="@+id/emp_number"
    android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/emp_avatar"
    android:ems="10"
    android:inputType="number" >

    <requestFocus />
</EditText>

<Button
    android:id="@+id/empAdd"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:layout_alignBaseline="@+id/empPin"
    android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/empPin"
    android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
    android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/empPin"
    android:text="@string/emp_add_btn" />

Here I post the code of Activity.java.

public class MainPortal extends Activity {
private List<Employee> employees = new ArrayList<Employee>();
EditText et;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main_portal);
    populateEmployeeList();
    //populsteListView();

    ListView list = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.employeeListView);
    ArrayAdapter<Employee> adapter = new MylistAdapter();
    list = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.employeeListView);
    list.setAdapter(adapter);

     list.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
          public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
                  int position, long id) {
//I ADDED ON CLICK IMPLEMENTATION HERE, BUT THIS IS NOT WORKING
              Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "CLICKED", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();   
              }
            });


private void populateEmployeeList() {
      ...
}



private class MylistAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<Employee>{


    public MylistAdapter(){
        super(MainPortal.this,R.layout.item_view,employees);
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        View itemView = convertView;
        if(itemView==null){
            itemView = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.item_view, parent,false);
        }
        Employee currentEmployee = employees.get(position);
        //Avatar
        ImageView imageView = (ImageView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.emp_avatar);
        imageView.setImageResource(currentEmployee.getAvatarId());
        //Employee number
        TextView emp_id = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.emp_number);
        emp_id.setText(currentEmployee.getId());

        et = (EditText) itemView.findViewById(R.id.empPin);
        return itemView;
    }
}
}

Above I have posted some codes that I think important. Can any one please help me to do this task. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Add the following attributes to your button

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

ListView setOnItemClickListener not working by adding button

Is your edittext taking focus on click of list item? If so remove the focus on edittext also.

Answer 2

Here your edittext inside the listview is having all the focus, so this listview onClick is not working. Remove the focus from the editext box and it will start working
