Android - ListView - performItemClick

Question

I\'m facing some difficults when I try to use the performItemClick funcion of the ListView.

All I want to do is to perform a click programatically i

Answer 1

mList.performItemClick(
    mList.getChildAt(mActivePosition),
    mActivePosition,
    mList.getAdapter().getItemId(mActivePosition));

where mActivePosition is the position of the child view in List View.

Answer 2

getListView().performItemClick(null, 0, 0) did the trick for me (for position 0).

Answer 3

mList.performItemClick(
        mList.getAdapter().getView(mActivePosition, null, null),
        mActivePosition,
        mList.getAdapter().getItemId(mActivePosition));

Where mActivePosition is your click position! All the best! :)

Answer 4

The performClick is probably called before listview was filled, put breakpoint in getView and on performItemClick and check wich is called first

Answer 5

If you are working on a unit test case. Try to use getInstrumentation().waitForIdleSync(), to wait the list be loaded, and extend the ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2 See this answer.

Answer 6

In my case, none of the options solved my problem, so I made an adaptation in my CursorAdapter class. I defined a global variable in the scope, so I just call the class changing this value and check the cursor position by passing the position value

 mProductsAdapter.currentPosition = requiredPosition

in my ProductsAdapter builder

  var currentPosition = 0

in bindView I do the check

 if (cursor.position == currentPosition) {
// perform action
}
