How to handle ListView click in Android
Suppose ListView object is lv, do the following-
lv.setClickable(true);
lv.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int position, long arg3) {
Object o = lv.getItemAtPosition(position);
/* write you handling code like...
String st = "sdcard/";
File f = new File(st+o.toString());
// do whatever u want to do with 'f' File object
*/
}
});
On your list view, use setOnItemClickListener
The two answers before mine are correct - you can use OnItemClickListener
.
It's good to note that the difference between OnItemClickListener
and OnItemSelectedListener
, while sounding subtle, is in fact significant, as item selection and focus are related with the touch mode of your AdapterView
.
By default, in touch mode, there is no selection and focus. You can take a look here for further info on the subject.
You need to set the inflated view "Clickable" and "able to listen to click events" in your adapter class getView() method.
convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.list_item_text, null);
convertView.setClickable(true);
convertView.setOnClickListener(myClickListener);
and declare the click listener in your ListActivity as follows,
public OnClickListener myClickListener = new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
//code to be written to handle the click event
}
};
This holds true only when you are customizing the Adapter by extending BaseAdapter.
