Android WebView inside ListView onclick event issues

Question

I have a ListView where each row has two webviews side by side, taking up the entire row. I\'ve set up onListItemClick() in my ListActivity, but they are not fired when I ta

Figured it out, posting my solution in case someone else wants to do something similar:

I had to use an OnTouchListener, since OnClick and OnFocus weren't working. I extended a class that is reuseable:

private class WebViewClickListener implements View.OnTouchListener {
    private int position;
    private ViewGroup vg;
    private WebView wv;

    public WebViewClickListener(WebView wv, ViewGroup vg, int position) {
        this.vg = vg;
        this.position = position;
        this.wv = wv;
    }

    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
        int action = event.getAction();

        switch (action) {
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL:
                return true;
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
                sendClick();
                return true;
        }

        return false;
    }

    public void sendClick() {
        ListView lv = (ListView) vg;
        lv.performItemClick(wv, position, 0);
    }
}

The sendClick method could be overridden to do what's needed in your specific case. Use case:

WebView image = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.myImage);
image.setOnTouchListener(new WebViewClickListener(image, parent, position));
