onClick not triggered on LinearLayout with child

Question

I\'ve got a custom LinearLayout with a smaller TextView child. I\'d like to be able to click the area not covered by the TextView, so I set clickable=true and an onclicklist

Answer 1

Your TextView height covers the whole parent (whole layout) so you might clicking on empty space but not on the layout. Try using wrap_content for android:layout_height for your TextView. Set click listener for the layout as well.
