List item with CheckBox not clickable

Viewed 19527

I have a list item which contains a CheckBox, and I want to be able to click on the CheckBox and on the list item itself. Unfortunately, there seems to be some sort of conflict between the two, as I can only click on the item when I comment out the CheckBox. It seems like I recall there was a way to fix this, but I can't find it at the moment. Thanks

EDIT: This is with a ListFragment, so there's no need to call setOnItemClickListener.

OK, here's the XML for the list item. The problem is the CheckBox, but I figured might as well copy everything.

<RelativeLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/list_item_survey"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    style="@style/SimpleListItem">
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/survey_title"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        style="@style/ListItemTitle" />
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/survey_date"
        android:layout_below="@id/survey_title"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        style="@style/ListItemSubtitle" />
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/survey_completed"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:layout_below="@id/survey_title"
        android:textColor="@color/accent_1"
        android:text="@string/survey_completed"
        style="@style/ListItemSubtitle" />
    <CheckBox
        android:id="@+id/survey_did_not_attend"
        android:layout_below="@id/survey_date"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/survey_did_not_attend"
        android:focusable="false"
        style="@style/ListItemSubtitle" />
 </RelativeLayout>

Late, but nevertheless a solution for all those who still need it.

It is true that the built-in mechanism using:

final ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(
    getActivity(),
    android.R.layout.simple_list_item_multiple_choice, lst);

does not allow both, ie click on the checkbox AND click on the list item. Wherever one clicks, the checkbox catches the event.

However, if you create your own ArrayAdapter with getView like this, then it works fine:

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
    View v = convertView;
    if (v == null) {
        LayoutInflater vi = (LayoutInflater) mContext
            .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        v = vi.inflate(R.layout.list_item_ecu_fehler, null);
    }

    v.setFocusable(true);
    v.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
        if (DEBUG)
            Log.i(this.getClass().getSimpleName(),
                " ->>"
                    + Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace()[2]
                        .getMethodName());
        }
    });

            CheckBox selectedForClearingCB = (CheckBox) v
            .findViewById(R.id.checkBox);


        if (selectedForClearingCB != null) {
        selectedForClearingCB.setTag(position); //so we know position in the list       selectedForClearingCB.setChecked(true);
        selectedForClearingCB.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {

            if (((CheckBox) v).isChecked()) {
                if (DEBUG)
                Log.i(this.getClass().getSimpleName(),
                    " -> CB checked: "
                        + Integer.toString((Integer) v
                            .getTag()));

            }

            }
        });
        }
    }
    return v;
    }

}
