Android: Grid view with clickable grid items and nested views (buttons, checkboxes)

Question

Basically, I would like to implement a GridView wherein the items themselves are clickable, but within the GridView are clickable Button

Answer 1

This post is old, but just for reference/googlers, I have the following solution:

You need to write all the events for buttons, checkboxes in getView of the imageAdapter only. Then in your layout.xml file under the gridview tag add these lines:

android:clickable="true"
android:descendantFocusability="beforeDescendants"

and add these lines to your button and checkboxes:

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

And if you want some other activity to start if any other area of the gridview item is clicked/touched you would need to use the (standard code)/(your own matching implementation):

GridView gridview = (GridView) findViewById(R.id.gridview);
    gridview.setAdapter(new ImageAdapter(this));

    gridview.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView parent, View v, int position, long id) {
            Toast.makeText(HelloGridView.this, "" + position, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }

Cheers, });
