How do I bind to `ItemClick` for a `MvxLinearLayout`?

Question

I have a ScrollView which originally wrapped two MvxListView controls.

Having ListView controls in a ScrollView isn't supported by Android though, which makes sense, because they both try to fill the parent height and provide their own scrolling logic.

What I want is two unscrollable lists with their full height inside my ScrollView. ListView which MvxListView extends doesn't support this without hacking the height manually.

The reason I want this is because I have two separate lists that I have bound to separate sources and they both have their own header. I need all of this to be scrollable within one ScrollView.

Then I found MvxLinearLayout which is a bindable LinearLayout which has an ItemSource property I can bind to. It works excellent, it shows my items and get the full height of all items so I can scroll both my lists in my ScrollView. The problem is that it doesn't seem to have an ItemClick property, so I don't have a way to get user input from my list.

Does anyone know a clean way of doing this in a bindable manner? I don't want to attach onItemClick handlers in my code behind. Is there another MvvmCross control that can do what I want?

You can extend MvxLinearLayout to support ItemClick:

public class MvxClickableLinearLayout : MvxLinearLayout
{
    public MvxClickableLinearLayout(Context context, IAttributeSet attrs)
        : this(context, attrs, new MvxClickableLinearLayoutAdapter(context))
    {
    }

    public MvxClickableLinearLayout(Context context, IAttributeSet attrs, MvxClickableLinearLayoutAdapter adapter)
        : base(context, attrs, adapter)
    {
        var mvxClickableLinearLayoutAdapter = Adapter as MvxClickableLinearLayoutAdapter;
        if (mvxClickableLinearLayoutAdapter != null)
        {
            mvxClickableLinearLayoutAdapter.OnItemClick = OnItemClick;
        }
    }

    public ICommand ItemClick { get; set; }

    public void OnItemClick(object item)
    {
        if (ItemClick != null && ItemClick.CanExecute(item))
        {
            ItemClick.Execute(item);
        }
    }
}

Adapter:

public class MvxClickableLinearLayoutAdapter : MvxAdapterWithChangedEvent, View.IOnClickListener
{
    public delegate void ItemClickDelegate(object item);

    public ItemClickDelegate OnItemClick;

    public MvxClickableLinearLayoutAdapter(Context context)
        : base(context)
    {
    }

    public void OnClick(View view)
    {
        var mvxDataConsumer = view as IMvxDataConsumer;

        if (mvxDataConsumer != null && OnItemClick != null)
        {
            OnItemClick(mvxDataConsumer.DataContext);
        }
    }

    protected override View GetView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent, int templateId)
    {
        View view = base.GetView(position, convertView, parent, templateId);
        view.SetOnClickListener(this);
        return view;
    }
}

Now you can bind to ItemClick just like you would do with a ListView:

local:MvxBind="ItemClick SomeCommand"
