ViewPager inside ListView row prevents onItemClick to be fired

Question

I have a ViewPager inside every row of a ListView. It works fine, it changes the views inside it when the user use the swipe gesture, but it prevents the ListView's onItemClick method to be called. I know that the ViewPager is the culprit because when I hide it, the onItemClick is called, so this is what I am trying:

I have created a ViewGroup to be the row (RowView). This ViewGroup has onInterceptTouchEvent overriden to avoid the ViewPager to handle further touch events when I detect a click. But the onItemClick callback is still not being called. And the list selector doesn't show either on click. I want this two features to work.

This is how the onInterceptTouchEvent from RowView looks like:

@Override
public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
    int actionMasked = ev.getActionMasked();
    switch(actionMasked) {
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
            Log.d("RowView", "OnInterceptTouchEvent - Down");
            tapDetector.onTouchEvent(ev);
            return false;
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL:
            Log.d("RowView", "OnInterceptTouchEvent - Cancel");
            tapDetector.onTouchEvent(ev);
            break;
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
            if(tapDetector.onTouchEvent(ev)) {
                Log.d("RowView", "OnInterceptTouchEvent - UP!");
                return true;
            }
            break;
    }

    return super.onInterceptTouchEvent(ev);
}

Any suggestions to solve this?

EDIT: Not working example about how the onItemClick in MainActivity is not called when the ViewPager is active (Lollipop list selector doesn't appear either)

MainActivity

ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.main_list);
listView.setAdapter(new MainListAdapter(this, 30));
listView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
        Log.d(TAG, "onItemClick: " + position);
    }
});

List item XML:

<RelativeLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="80dp"
    android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants"
    >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/row_num"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
        />

    <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
        android:id="@+id/row_viewpager"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:visibility="visible"
        />
</RelativeLayout>

List adapter:

public class MainListAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
    private Context context;
    private LayoutInflater inflater;
    private int count;

    public MainListAdapter(Context context, int count) {
        this.context = context;
        this.inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
        this.count = count;
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return count;
    }

    @Override
    public Object getItem(int position) {
        return position;
    }

    @Override
    public long getItemId(int position) {
        return position;
    }

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

        if(convertView == null) {
            holder = new ViewHolder();
            convertView = createRow(parent, holder);
        } else {
            holder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
        }

        holder.textView.setText(Integer.toString(position));
        int randomPages = (int) (new Random().nextDouble()*5+2);
        holder.viewPager.setAdapter(new NumAdapter(context, randomPages));

        return convertView;
    }

    private View createRow(ViewGroup parent, ViewHolder holder) {
        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.row_main_listview, parent, false);
        holder.textView = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.row_num);
        holder.viewPager = (ViewPager) view.findViewById(R.id.row_viewpager);
        view.setTag(holder);

        return view;
    }

    private static class ViewHolder {
        public TextView textView;
        public ViewPager viewPager;
    }
}

ViewPager's Adapter:

public class NumAdapter extends PagerAdapter {
    private LayoutInflater inflater;
    private int count;

    public NumAdapter(Context context, int count) {
        this.inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
        this.count = count;
    }

    @Override
    public Object instantiateItem(ViewGroup container, int position) {
        TextView textView = (TextView) inflater.inflate(R.layout.page_viewpager, container, false);
        textView.setText("Page " + position);
        container.addView(textView);
        return textView;
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return count;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean isViewFromObject(View arg0, Object arg1) {
        return arg0 == arg1;
    }

    @Override
    public void destroyItem(ViewGroup container, int position, Object object) {
        container.removeView((View)object);
    }
}

I think better override listview onintercepter than viewgroup.

TouchEvent Flow simply :

Acitivity touch event - > viewgroup.dispatchtouchevent -> viewgroup.intercepter..-> view.dispatchtouch... -> .....

in this case list.dispatch call. toss event to ViewPager.dispatch. but before ViewPager.dispatchtouchevent, call ListView.intercepterTouchEvent.

if dispatchTouchEvent return false call parent View's TouchEvent but return true call flow descent.

if intercepterTouchEvent return true don't calling child dispatchTouchEvent but return false calling child dispatchTouchEvent. so listview.intercepterTouchEvent return true, calling onItemClick.

so if listView.intercepterTouchEvent return true, not swiped viewPager items.

you can know user's action swipe or click 2 way. TouchEvent and guesturedetector..

in listview's IntercepterTouchEvent(Event ev);

VelocityTracker mVelocityTracker;
PointF mLastPoint;
public mListView(Context context) {
    super(context);
    init();
}

public mListView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    super(context, attrs);
    init();
}

public mListView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
    super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
    init();
}

private void init(){
    mLastPoint = new PointF();
}


@Override
public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {

    if(mVelocityTracker == null)
        mVelocityTracker = VelocityTracker.obtain();
    mVelocityTracker.addMovement(ev);

    switch (ev.getAction()){
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
            mVelocityTracker.computeCurrentVelocity(100);
            int x = (int)Math.abs(mVelocityTracker.getXVelocity());
            int move_x = (int)Math.abs(ev.getX() - mLastPoint.x);
            Log.d("ListView","speed : " + x +" move_x : " + move_x);
            //here x is drag speed. (pixel/s)
            // change value left right both value you want speed and move amount
            if(move_x < 100 || x <100) {
                mLastPoint.set(ev.getX(), ev.getY());
                return true;
            }
            break;
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
            mLastPoint.set(ev.getX(), ev.getY());
            break;
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:

            mVelocityTracker.recycle();mVelocityTracker = null;

            break;
    }
    return super.onInterceptTouchEvent(ev);
}

you can swipe speed about 100 or move amount 100 pixel. if not perform click event.

i hope this text can help you......

and add edit some code blow.

@Override
public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {

    if(mVelocityTracker == null)
        mVelocityTracker = VelocityTracker.obtain();
    mVelocityTracker.addMovement(ev);

    switch (ev.getAction()){
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
            mVelocityTracker.computeCurrentVelocity(10);
            int x = (int)Math.abs(mVelocityTracker.getXVelocity());
            int move_x = (int)Math.abs(ev.getX() - mLastPoint.x);
            int move_y = (int)Math.abs(ev.getY() - mLastPoint.y);
            Log.d("ListView","speed : " + x +" move_x : " + move_x + " move_y : "+ move_y);
            if(move_x < move_y || x < 10) {
                mLastPoint.set(ev.getX(), ev.getY());
                return true;
            }else if(move_x > move_y){
                return false;
            }
            break;
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
            mLastPoint.set(ev.getX(), ev.getY());
            break;
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
            break;
    }
    return super.onInterceptTouchEvent(ev);
}

@Override
public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
    Log.d("ListView", "dispatch");
    switch (ev.getAction()){
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
            break;
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
            break;
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
            if(mVelocityTracker != null){mVelocityTracker.recycle();mVelocityTracker = null;}
            break;
    }
    return super.dispatchTouchEvent(ev);;
}
