ListView with OnItemClickListener

Though a very old question, but I am still posting an answer to it so that it may help some one. If you are using any layout inside the list view then use ...

android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants"    

... on the first parent layout inside the list. This works as magic the click will not be consumed by any element inside the list but will directly go to the list item.

I have an Activity that extends ListActivity.

I tried doing something like this in onCreate:

ListView listView = getListView();
listView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

    @Override
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
            int position, long id) {

        Log.i("Hello!", "Y u no see me?");

    }

});

But that didn't work.

Instead I simply needed to override onListItemClick:

@Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {

    Log.i("Hello!", "Clicked! YAY!");

}

Hey check this, works for me... hope it work for u too

If list item contains ImageButton

Problem: OnItemClickListener just doesn’t repond any at all!

Reason: No idea

Solution: in code, set ImageButton's focus to “false”

1: ImageButton button = (ImageButton) convertView.findViewById(R.id.imageButton);

2: button.setFocusable(false);

If you want to enable item click in list view use

listitem.setClickable(false);

this may seem wrong at first glance but it works!

if list item view contains button or checkbox or imagebutton, the onitemclicklistener and onitemlongclicklistener not working due to it has own onclick listener.

set focusable as false

holder.button.setFocusable(false);
