Android Row becomes Unclickable with Button

Question

I have a listView, where each row has a button in the row layout. However, this seems to make the row itself unclickable. How can I make both the button and row clickable? <

Answer 1

Whenever I see posts concerning the android:focusable and android:clickable attributes, I always see them being both set to the same value at once. I figured there must be a reason if they are two separate attributes instead of being one.

It turns out that a much better way of achieving your desired behavior is to set

android:focusable="false" 

or

yourButton.setFocusable(false)

on the Button in your View. Once you do that, you'll be both able to set an OnClickListener on the Button, and a click on the row will fire the onListItemClick() method in your OnItemClickListener.

Answer 2

You need to set itemsCanFocus on the list like this:

    mList.setItemsCanFocus(true);

To make the button clickable. Then you will need to use your own adapter and in getView return a view which is Clickable and focusable. You will also lose the default highlight states so you need to put them back in with the background resource. So do this:

    view.setClickable(true);
    view.setFocusable(true);
    view.setBackgroundResource(android.R.drawable.menuitem_background);

to your view before returning your view.

Answer 3

Unfortunately I don't think that is possible. You ListView row can either have focusable widgets, like a button, or be clickable, not both. See link.

Answer 4

Try to set your widgets to non clickable and non focusable in xml,the click on items will work normally and also the click on button will work normally.

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

Hope this helps.
