Android – OnItemCLickListener not working in listview

androidlistview

Activity class code:

conversationList = (ListView)findViewById(android.R.id.list);
ConversationArrayAdapter conversationArrayAdapter=new  ConversationArrayAdapter(this, R.layout.conversation_list_item_format_left, conversationDetails);
conversationList.setAdapter(conversationArrayAdapter);
conversationList.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener(){ 
    @Override
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int position, long arg3) {
        Log.d("test","clicked");
    }
});

The getView function in the Adapter class:

if (v == null) {                                
    LayoutInflater vi = (LayoutInflater)ctx.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
    if(leftSideMessageNumber.equals(m.getTo())) {
        v = vi.inflate(R.layout.conversation_list_item_format_left, null);
    } else {
        v = vi.inflate(R.layout.conversation_list_item_format_right, null);
    }
}

Is there a problem with using two xmls while inflating?

I just found a solution from here, but by deep clicking.

If any row item of list contains focusable or clickable view then OnItemClickListener won't work.

The row item must have a param like android:descendantFocusability = "blocksDescendants".

Here you can see an example of how your list item should look like. Your list item xml should be... row_item.xml (your_xml_file.xml)

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:baselineAligned="false"
    android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants"
    android:gravity="center_vertical" >

    // your other widgets here

</LinearLayout>
