How to add gridview setOnItemClickListener

Question

I have a GridView with 81 buttons on it. I want to add clicklistener to this gridview but it is not available. I have added the OnItemClickListener but it is not working and I cannot understand why. There is no error with the code. The only thing not working is the OnItemClickListener.

My gridview children which has a button on it(gridview_members.xml);

<?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"
>

<Button
    android:id="@+id/city"
    android:layout_width="183dp"
    android:layout_height="90dp"
    android:textSize="19sp"
    android:textStyle="bold"
    android:text="Code\n\nCity"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:background="@drawable/city_btn_tablet" />

</RelativeLayout>

My ImageAdapter class;

public class ImageAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
private Context mContext;

public ImageAdapter(Context c) {
    mContext = c;
}

public int getCount() {
    return 81;
}

public Object getItem(int position) {
    return null;
}

public long getItemId(int position) {
    return 0;
}

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

    LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) mContext.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

    View gridView;

    gridView =new View(mContext);

    gridView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.gridview_members, null);

    Button city = (Button) gridView.findViewById(R.id.city);

    return gridView;
}

}

Gridview implementation on activity_main.xml ;

<GridView
android:id="@+id/gridview"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:horizontalSpacing="5dp"
android:verticalSpacing="5dp"
android:gravity="center"
android:stretchMode="columnWidth"
android:numColumns="6" >
</GridView>

And finally my MainActivity.java file;

public class MainActivity extends Activity{

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    GridView gridview = (GridView) findViewById(R.id.gridview);
    gridview.setAdapter(new ImageAdapter(this));

    gridview.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View v, int position, long id) {
            Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "" + position, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    });
}
}

Answer 1

GridView is clickable no need to put button inside GridView.

To add listener to the grid add the following code:

// Implement On Item click listener
gridView1.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {

        switch (position) {
            case 0: 
                break;
            case 1:
                break;

        }
    }
}); 

And so on you can add all numbers in the cases.

You are requesting click on the item(not on the button inside the item) so need to change your child XML layout

from

<?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"
>

<Button
    android:id="@+id/city"
    android:layout_width="183dp"
    android:layout_height="90dp"
    android:textSize="19sp"
    android:textStyle="bold"
    android:text="Code\n\nCity"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:background="@drawable/city_btn_tablet" />

</RelativeLayout>

to

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Button
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/city"
    android:layout_width="183dp"
    android:layout_height="90dp"
    android:textSize="19sp"
    android:clickable="true"
    android:textStyle="bold"
    android:text="Code\n\nCity"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:background="@drawable/city_btn_tablet" />

or you can add ClickListener inside adapter

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

    LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) mContext.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

    View gridView;

    gridView =new View(mContext);

    gridView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.gridview_members, null);

    Button city = (Button) gridView.findViewById(R.id.city);

                city.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {

    //Toast here

        }});

    return gridView;
}

If you want to get text that clicked item you can use this

gridView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int i, long l) {
                String item = ((TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.ID_OF_TEXTVIEW)).getText().toString();
                Toast.makeText(showMissions.this, "" + item, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

            }
        });
