Android setOnItemClickListener

Question

I'm not able to initiate the " OnItemClickListener ".

You can see my code snippet

 ListAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(this, mylist , R.layout.main, new String[] { "title"}, new int[] { R.id.item_title});
    setListAdapter(adapter);

    final ListView lv = getListView();
    lv.setTextFilterEnabled(true);

    lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {              
            @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
            HashMap<String, String> o = (HashMap<String, String>) lv.getItemAtPosition(position);                   
            Toast.makeText(TopNewsActivity.this, "ID '" + o.get("id") + "' was clicked.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); 

        }
    });

after the setListAdapter my debugger goes to " lv.setOnItemClickListener " but then does not get into the loop and moves out.

I want to make the links Clickable kindly help.

Answer 1

The most probable cause is that your ListView items contain either focusable or clickable Views. If a view contains either focusable or clickable item the OnItemCLickListener won't be called. (Instead the clickable View's own click handlers will be called).

Try it with a very simple ListItem layout - it should work.

Maybe you forgot to write @Override before public void onItemClick?

Adapter.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position,
                long id) {
        }
});

bbalazs is right. I would like to put it more precisely: If you have a view A as a child of a view B and A is by default clickable(button fe), than setOnItemClickListener won't work on B. It is pure magic, but it works so.
