Ripple effect over a RecyclerView item containing ImageView

Question

I have a RecyclerView that expands the following grid item :

Answer 1

Your SquareImageView is filling up the entire space (width is match_parent and height is wrap_content) and so the SquareImageView receives the click event.

What worked in my case was setting the clickable state of all objects in your RelativeLayout to false:

android:clickable="false"

Just make sure your RelativeLayout handles the click event in your activity. In my code I set the RelativeLayout to a view v and set an onClick Listener on it to handle the CheckBox within my List item.

v.setOnClickListener(this);

Hopefully this helps anyone who reads it.
