OnItemCLickListener not working in listview

Question

Activity class code:

conversationList = (ListView)findViewById(android.R.id.list);
ConversationArrayAdapter conversationArrayAdapter=new  ConversationArrayAdapter(this, R.layout.conversation_list_item_format_left, conversationDetails);
conversationList.setAdapter(conversationArrayAdapter);
conversationList.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener(){ 
    @Override
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int position, long arg3) {
        Log.d("test","clicked");
    }
});

The getView function in the Adapter class:

if (v == null) {                                
    LayoutInflater vi = (LayoutInflater)ctx.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
    if(leftSideMessageNumber.equals(m.getTo())) {
        v = vi.inflate(R.layout.conversation_list_item_format_left, null);
    } else {
        v = vi.inflate(R.layout.conversation_list_item_format_right, null);
    }
}

Is there a problem with using two xmls while inflating?

Answer 1

If you want to use both the simple click and long click on list view items better way to implement that would be to use context menu for long click. Avoid using setItemLongClickListener especially if you have multiple row layouts for your listview.

Answer 2

if you have textviews, buttons or stg clickable or selectable in your row view only

android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants"

is not enough. You have to set

android:textIsSelectable="false"

to your textviews and

android:focusable="false"

to your buttons and other focusable items.

Answer 3

I had the same issue, I was using a style for my texts in the row layout that had the "focusable" attribute. It worked after I removed it.

Answer 4

Faced same problem, tried for hours. If you have tried all of the above than try changing layout_width of Listview and list item to match_parent from wrap_content.

Answer 5

1. Add this in main Layout

   android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants"
   

2. Write this code into every button,Textview,ImageView etc which have onClick

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

Hope it will work.

Answer 6

Android:autoText attribute also make TextView auto focusable.
