OnItemClickListener doesn't work with ListView item containing button

Question

I have ListView with custom Adapter which supplies View to ListView in this way:

   public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)    {         RelativeLayout.LayoutParams lineParams;         RelativeLayout line=new RelativeLayout(context);          TextView tv=new TextView(context);         tv.setText("Text in postion="+i);         lineParams=new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);         lineParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_LEFT);         line.addView(tv, lineParams);         lineParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.CENTER_IN_PARENT);          //checkbox         CheckBox checkBox=new CheckBox(context);         lineParams=new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);         lineParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_RIGHT);         lineParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.CENTER_IN_PARENT);         line.addView(checkBox, lineParams);         return line;     } 

And somewhere inside ListView there's setOnItemClickListener(), which should intercept item clicking events. My problem that, whenever I try to add checkbox to item - I don't get any responces from my ListView. If I skip CheckBox or any other Button it works.

I am really stuck with this problem, I have tried all kind of Layouts, aligning, wrapping and so on - useless. Looks like CheckBox interferes ListView item click events.

Any ideas how to overcome?

Answer 1

just add this line into the item views instead of listView itself

android:focusable="false" 

check more detail about this from Android custom ListView unable to click on items

Answer 2

If you have ImageButtons inside the list item, you need to add:

android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants" 

to the root list item element [such as the root layout].

Then within each ImageButton in the list item, you need to add:

android:focusableInTouchMode="true" 

This worked for me - but I was using ImageButtons, not the standard button.
