Create a clickable image in a GridView in Android

Question

I have images displayed in a GridView as in this tutorial. I want to be able to click on a single image and do other events and I need to know what image was clicked.

Answer 1

I was able to get the position of the clicked image by making the position final and adding an onClick listener to the imageView. This logs the position of the image that was clicked.

@Override
public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
  ImageView imageView;
  if (convertView == null) {  
    // if it's not recycled, initialize some attributes
    imageView = new ImageView(mContext);
    imageView.setLayoutParams(new GridView.LayoutParams(85, 85));
    imageView.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.CENTER_CROP);
    imageView.setPadding(8, 8, 8, 8);


    imageView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

      @Override
      public void onClick(View view) {
        Log.d("onClick","position ["+position+"]");
      }

    });

  } 
  else {
    imageView = (ImageView) convertView;
  }

  imageView.setImageResource(mThumbIds[position]);
  return imageView;
}
