Can I make a ListView item not selectable?

Question

I am implementing an endless ListView (like in the Twitter app). I want to make the last item not selecteble. So that if the penultimate item is selected and I scroll down with my trackball, nothing happens. I tried setting android:focusable="false" and android:cickable="false" but I didn't notice any chnage.

Answer 1

It's pretty easy, in your adapter you can override the method isEnabled(int position) and return false for this item.

Answer 2

if you're using custom array adapter just override this method.

@Override
public boolean isEnabled(int position) {
    return false;
}

Answer 3

If you want to get the same effect without having to have a custom adapter, you make the OnClickListener ignore that item when tapped and then set a solid background color for the item's view, so it doesn't highlight when tapped.
