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 had the same issue with a ListView which contained only a RadioButton:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" >

<RadioButton
    android:id="@+id/userNameRadioButton"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

</LinearLayout>

I used the RadioButton in each row to display the default item selection, to make ListView handle clicks I had to use:

radioButton.setFocusableInTouchMode(false);
radioButton.setFocusable(false);

or in the XML-file:

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

So it is a focus related issue... With the above modifiers the focus is directed to ListView on click.

Answer 2

Consider making the text value selectable by specifying android:textIsSelectable="true"

Don't listen to Google. In the rows' layout, set

textIsSelectable="false"

Thank you Lint (not!)

Answer 3

Android doesn't allow to select list items that have focusable elements (buttons). Modify the button's xml attribute to:

android:focusable="false"

It should still be clickable, just won't gain focus...

Answer 4

set android:clickable="false" android:focusable="fasle"

Answer 5

This answer here worked for me: https://stackoverflow.com/a/16536355/5112161

Mainly he ADDED in the LinearLayout or RelativeLayout the following:

android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants"

You also need to REMOVE from all your xml the following:

android:focusable="false"
android:focusable="true"
android:clickable="true"
android:clickable="false"
