OnClickListener on scrollView

Question

I have a scrollView with lot of elements

ScrollView scroller = (ScrollView)findViewById(R.id.scrollView); 

I need to attach an onClickListener to the scrollview so I do

scroller.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {              @Override             public void onClick(View v) {                  // This is all you need to do to 3D flip                 AnimationFactory.flipTransition(viewAnimator, FlipDirection.LEFT_RIGHT);              }          }); 

But this is not getting triggered when I touch. Any Ideas?

Answer 1

The best solution seem to put LinearLayout into ScrollView and set the setOnClickListener on it.

<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="match_parent">      <LinearLayout         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="match_parent"         android:id="@+id/myLayout"         android:clickable="true"         android:orientation="vertical">         <!-- content here -->    </LinearLayout> </ScrollView> 

in the Activity :

LinearLayout lin = (LinearLayout) fragment.rootView.findViewById(R.id.myLayout);  lin.setOnTouchListener(new setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {         @Override         public void onClick(View view) {             // Whatever         } });

It is because the child of the ScrollView is getting the touch event of the user and not the ScrollView. You must set android:clickable="false" attribute to each and every child of the ScrollView for the onClickListener to work on ScrollView.

Or else the alternate could be to set the onClickListener on each of the ScrollView's children and handle it.
