ListView setOnItemClickListener not working by adding button

Question

I have a list view with text and button in each row, list view setOnItemClickListener() is not working. is it possible to handle item click and button click events differently(item click should call ActivityA and button click should call ActivityB). Does anyone have a solution

    private ArrayList<String> userIDArr = null;
    private ArrayList<String> userNameArr = null;
    private DatabaseHelper dbHelper = null;
    private ListView userListView=null; 


    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
        {
          super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);         
          setContentView(R.layout.list_view);         
          dbHelper = new DatabaseHelper(this.getApplicationContext());        
          Map<String,ArrayList<String>> displayMap = dbHelper.getUserListToDisplay();
          userIDArr = displayMap.get("UserID");
          userNameArr = displayMap.get("FirstName1");           


          userListView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView2);
          userListView.setAdapter(new UserListAdapter(this,userIDArr));


          userListView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
              @Override
              public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int position, long arg3) {

                  Toast.makeText(usersListActivity.this,
                            "Item in position " + position + " clicked", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
              }
            });
     }


    public class UserListAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String>
    {
        Activity context;
        public UserListAdapter(Activity context, ArrayList<String> names) {
            super(context, R.layout.list_item, names);
            this.context = context;
        }
        private class ViewHolder {
            public TextView UserNameAndID;
            public TextView Description;
            public Button  UploadBtn;
        }

        @Override
        public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
            ViewHolder holder;
            View rowView = convertView;
            if (rowView == null) {
                LayoutInflater inflater = context.getLayoutInflater();
                rowView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.list_item, null, true);
                holder = new ViewHolder();
                holder.UserNameAndID = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.User_detailsTxt);
                holder.Description = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.User_status);
                holder.UploadBtn = (Button) rowView.findViewById(R.id.uploadbutton);
                holder.UploadBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {  

                        public void onClick(View v) {  
                        Toast.makeText(usersListActivity.this," Button clicked",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                        }   
                    }); 
                    rowView.setTag(holder);
            } else {
                holder = (ViewHolder) rowView.getTag();
            }
            String s = userNameArr.get(position)+","+userIDArr.get(position);
            holder.UserNameAndID.setText(s);
            holder.Description.setText("U r in middle");
            return rowView;
        }
    }
}`

Answer 1

Try setting your buttons (or any other views you want to handle click inside a list item) like this:

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

Answer 2

Sometimes the List will still not be able to make the Click Listener to pass. And at this case you might have to add one more attribute.

android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants" 

And this attribute has to be added to the top most layout of your XML where you have provided the ListView elements.

Answer 3

If you have an active view/focusable view in your list view then it will disable onItemClickListener... you can try to make it unfocusable by adding: android:focusable="false" to any view that is usually focusable.
