setOnClickListener of a ListView not working

Question

So I\'m trying to set up a setOnClickListener for my ListView but it\'s causing a crash in my program for some reason when I try... I\'m quite new

Answer 1

You need to use setOnItemClickListener()

and then new android.widget.AdapterView.OnItemClickListener()

not new View.OnItemClickListener()

Answer 2

In my case I try to add onClickListener for spinner and I've got the same problem. I've crated workaround with touch listener. Sometimes we need it for hideKeyBoard or send some analyticEvent:

someSpinner.setOnTouchListener { _, event ->  onTouchSomeSpinner(event)}

fun onTouchSomeSpinner(event: MotionEvent): Boolean {
        if(event.action == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
            view.hideKeyBoard()
            view.analyticsEvent()
            ...
        }
        return false
}

Answer 3

Instead of using setOnClickListener, try to use setOnItemClickListener

Answer 4

If using Butterknife, check that you don't have OnClick annotation for an AdapterView descentant (Spinner, ListView, etc.)

@OnClick(R.id.spinner_id)

Calling ButterKnife.inject(this, view); will throw the exception

Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Don't call setOnClickListener for an AdapterView. You probably want setOnItemClickListener instead

Answer 5

firstly set the value inside your main activity where your using your listview:

new android.widget.AdapterView.OnItemClickListener()

in place of adapter of your listview:

  new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() 

So finally it looks like:

this.listView.setItemsCanFocus(false);
this.listView.setOnItemClickListener(new android.widget.AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onItemClick(android.widget.AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {

 }

when you are using any custom view to populate the data inside listview.

Then in your main Activity file.xml in the parent layout{ inside which listview is there} set this option:

    android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants"

and if you are using any buttons/textview inside listview, set this property on that textview/button:

    android:focusable="false"
    android:focusableInTouchMode="false"

For scroll option in your listview just add this line inside activity:

 listView=(ListView)findViewById(R.id.container);
 listView.setNestedScrollingEnabled(true);

As per i understood i am giving answer, and i hope it will help, if anyone found some corrections or helpful, they are welcome.
