Android OnItemClickListener

Question

I have a ListActivity with an Adapter attached. Now I want to register a click on a list item in the adapter. This is my solution in onCreate of the ListActivity:

        this.myList = getListView();
        this.myList.setAdapter(this.adapter);
        this.myList.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2, long arg3) {
                Log.d("Click", "ListView");
            }
        });

But the OnItemClickListener never responds. What is wrong?

Answer 1

ListView list = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView1);

 MobileArrayAdapter adapter = new MobileArrayAdapter(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1);
 list.setAdapter(adapter);       

 list.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
 public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) { 
 //your data

     }
}   

Answer 2

You do not need to set OnItemClickListener . You have to override onListItemClick :

@Override 
    public void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
        // Do something when a list item is clicked
    }

The third parameter, position , is the element at position in your adapter.

Answer 3

If u have row layout for each list item which u have used in adpter than in that row layout for each ImageView or Button or Checkbox or TextView etc ... u have to add this line in xml

 android:clikable="false"
 android:focusable="false"

Answer 4

You are missing this:

    this.myList.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_SINGLE);

By default, list doesnot have any choice mode ie its set as CHOICE_MODE_NONE by default. So to make it clickable, we have to set it as CHOICE_MODE_SINGLE or CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE as per you want .
