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

I faced the same problem, and all the XML attributes didn't work. I think this happens because I programmatically inflate and add the views. The fix for me was to - also that programatically - set the inflated root view not clickable:

View view = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.some_layout, someLinearLayout, false);
view.setClickable(false);

(Yes, I tried to have the some_layout not clickable in XML.)
