Android Row becomes Unclickable with Button

Question

I have a listView, where each row has a button in the row layout. However, this seems to make the row itself unclickable. How can I make both the button and row clickable? <

Answer 1

Whenever I see posts concerning the android:focusable and android:clickable attributes, I always see them being both set to the same value at once. I figured there must be a reason if they are two separate attributes instead of being one.

It turns out that a much better way of achieving your desired behavior is to set

android:focusable="false" 

or

yourButton.setFocusable(false)

on the Button in your View. Once you do that, you'll be both able to set an OnClickListener on the Button, and a click on the row will fire the onListItemClick() method in your OnItemClickListener.
