ListView items are not clickable. why?

Question

I have a ListView that uses a customized adapter, but I can\'t click on the ListView Item ..

Activity for list view ..

package com.adham         


        

Answer 1

I was using a view and button inside the list view so I have used:

android:focusable="false"

for <button> and <view> ...

After that I used following code for my list view and it worked

// Attach the adapter to a ListView
ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.shipping_item_list);
listView.setAdapter(adapter);
listView.setOnItemClickListener(listPairedClickItem);

private AdapterView.OnItemClickListener listPairedClickItem = new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2, long arg3) {

    Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Item ", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }
};

Answer 2

I wanted to add a comment to rupps answer, but I do not have enough reputation.

If you are using a custom adapter extending the ArrayAdapter you can overwrite with areAllItemsEnabled() and isEnabled(int position) in your class:

@Override
public boolean areAllItemsEnabled() {
    return true;
}

@Override
public boolean isEnabled(int position) {
    return true;
}

The above fixed my non clickable list view. Maybe this comment also helps others as "android list not clickable" search term is quite high in Google.

Answer 3

I'm pretty late but discovered something I think it's interesting about this:

if your adapter descends from ArrayAdapter, as much as I have tried, onItemClickListener is not called.

However, if your adapter descends from BaseAdapter (so you have to implement getCount() and getItem(), trivial for an array) it IS always called.

Answer 4

List view items are clickable. To use it, you have to set item click listener on your list view. Then it will work.

Answer 5

try this to get the focus: View.getFocus();

Answer 6

For me, the problem was that my items within my ListView had clickable set to true.
