onClick on ViewPager not triggered

Question

I set a click listener on a ViewPager, but the onClick event is never called. I guess the touch event detection of the ViewPager is interfering, bu

Answer 1

Make sure that one of the unintended views inside the page is not consuming click event. I had an issue where android:clickable was true on the image view and I could not get click event from its parent. After removing that android:clickable from image view, the click events are sent to its parent (BannerView) now. See the example code

public ViewPagerAdapter extends PagerAdapter {
...

public Object instantiateItem (ViewGroup container, int position) {

    MyItem item = this.myItems.get(position);

    BannerView bannerView = new BannerView(container.getContext());
    ImageView imageView = (ImageView) bannerView.findViewById(R.id.header_image);

    this.setupClickListener(bannerView, position);

     container.addView(bannerView);
     return bannerView;
}

private void setupClickListener(final BannerView view, final int position) {

    view.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {

               // Page is clicked!
               MyItem item = ViewPagerAdapter.this.myItems.get(position);
               ViewPagerAdapter.this.showNextActivity(view.getContext(), item);               
            }
     });

}

}
