Android: Listview where each item is a webview

Question

Hello,

I have a listview with a custom adapter for each item of the list. If my custom item is some textview everything works fine. But each item has to be some html and hence I need each item to be a webview. The problem is that the webview steals my click and thus I cannot select an item from the list anymore.

So this:

this.itemAdapter = new ItemAdapter(this, R.layout.webview, itemArrayList);

    ListView lv1 = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.ListView01);
    lv1.setOnItemClickListener( new ItemSelected());
    lv1.setAdapter(this.itemAdapter);

public class ItemSelected implements OnItemClickListener 
{
    @Override
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView av, View v, int item, long id) 
    {
        Intent showTextIntent = new Intent(showItems, ShowItemDetails.class); 
        showTextIntent.putExtra("itemID", singleItems.get(item).getItemID());
        startActivity(showTextIntent);
    }
}

click is dead. I don't have any link in the webview or have to navigate I only use it to have a nice formatted text (fromHtml for the textview is not that nice). Any chance?

Try to do setClickable(false) in your WebView, or use android:clickable="false" on the XML layout.
