Answer 1

Don't know if you still need it, but you can implement your own Adapter and override the method isEnabled(int position). Depending on the ViewType of the item you will return true or false.

Answer 2

Sharing my experience, the following did the trick (view refers to the list item view):

view.setEnabled(false); view.setOnClickListener(null); 

• enabling by overriding the method didn't work as the method was never invoked.
• setting focusable to false didn't work as well.

Answer 3

To make the items in a list non-clickable, you have to make the adapter return false on its isEnabled method for the items in the list. An easy way to instantiate an adapter and override isEnabled can be done in the following way:

SimpleCursorAdapter adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, null, from, to, 0) {
    @Override
    public boolean isEnabled(int position) {
        return false;
    }
};

Answer 4

This is the correct answer:

I've found a lot of comments saying that

setEnabled(false)
setClickable(false)
setFocusable(false)

would work, but the answer is NO

The only workaround for this approach is doing:

view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.row_storage_divider, parent, false);
view.setOnClickListener(null);
