Textview`s LinkMovementMethod blocks listitem touch event

Question

I have some problem with Listview. Listview has list items that consist of imageview and textview. Textview contains clickable links. When I set LinkMovementMethod to textviews, listitems doesn`t receive onclick event. I still cannot find any right solution=(. Can anyone explane how to solve it or give an example of using textview with clickable links inside listitem? Thanks. Here is textview creation in adapter:

    TextView text = (TextView) ((LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE))
                        .inflate(R.layout.post_content_text, null);
SpannableString sString = new SpannableString(d.getText());
//I have my own class UrlSpan that contain fields startPosition, endPosition and urlLink
for (UrlSpan us : ((TextData) d).getUrls())
                {
                    URLSpan urlSpan = new URLSpan(us.getUrl());
                    sString.setSpan(urlSpan, us.getStart(), us.getEnd(), SpannableString.SPAN_INCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVE);
                }
text.setText(sString);
text.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
view.addView(text);

and list item is:

Answer 1

try to add this attribute android:descendantFocusability="beforeDescendants" to your listview

from the documentation:

it defines the relationship between the ViewGroup and its descendants when looking for a View to take focus. it seems to me that when you have some active views like buttons or edittext and etc in your listview you have to define descendantFocusability
