OnItemClickListener was not work with the checkbox?

Question

Just add

android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants"

To your top level LinearLayout of the listitem.

Answer 2

You could add this code within your OnItemClickListener method:

public void onItemClick(AdapterView parent, View view, int position, long id){
   CheckBox box = (CheckBox)view.findViewById(R.id.course_search_checkbox);
   box.setChecked(true);
}

Answer 3

Use setOnCheckedChangeListener instead of onItemClickListner for checkbox

CheckBox check;
check=new CheckBox(this);
check.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new OnCheckedChangeListener() {
    public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    }
});

Answer 4

The onItemClickListener for the listView will not work if you have any clickables like buttons, ImageButton, Checkbox, etc in the listView. Add

mainListView.setItemsCanFocus(true);

Refer ListView OnItemClickListener Not Responding?

Answer 5

Best way to do this is set these following properties for your checkbox:

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

I had a same issue and did this.
