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?

Thanks.

Answer 1

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 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.
