Hi, I am trying to achieve listview row layout that would let me use "click areas" (views i could bind OnClickListener to) no matter on real row content. I do not want to use OnTouchListener, so my attempt is based on using RelativeLayout and overlay real row content with "click areas". But for some odd reasons I am unable to make it work, desipie recent beta of ADT shows the layout as expected. When deployed on device it does not work.
Any notes, ideas or hints highly appreciated. I asked that question on StackOveflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13108968/listview-row-content-independent-clickable-areasso here's copy of that question: ------------------------------ I got listview's row layout like this (this is stripped down version of my real layout so do not comment of things like single elements wrapped in LinearLayout etc. - it just to illustrate the issue - final version got more elements there): [image: Inline images 1] XML file is below for reference, but I shortly describe what I want to achieve: - blue box (icon) and "usually long text here" TextView are row "real" content (item_main_container). It can be anything - it shall be irrelevant. This layer content is not clickable. - the red and green boxes are views I bind row's OnCliclListeners to (wrapped in item_click_area_container)- I just want user to be able to tap on the row, no matter what's item_main_container's content really is (so these red/green are transparent in the app). These are set transparent on the image so you can see item_main_content thru it). Please note red and green represent *separate* actions. I need to be able to have more elements on that layers (i.e. 4 or 5) to handle separate actions depending on where user tapped. - the yellow area (button_bar_container) holds buttons user may want to tap. So basically item_click_area_container overlays item_main_container, but not button_bar_container, which is above item_click_area_containerotherwise user would not be able to tap on any of its button. Layout outline looks like this: [image: Inline images 2] *QUESTIONS* 1. Why this is not working as expected and/or how to fix that? 2. Is there any better way of having content independent click areas than using approach like mine item_click_area_container without using OnTouchListener? ------------------------------ *Layout XML* <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/item_container" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical"> <RelativeLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/item_main_container" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> <ImageView android:id="@+id/item_avatar" android:layout_width="40dp" android:layout_height="40dp" android:background="#0000ff" android:src="@drawable/icon_help"/> <LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="vertical"> <TextView android:id="@+id/item_body" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:text="Usually long text here..." android:textColor="#ffffff"/> </LinearLayout> </LinearLayout> <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/item_click_area_container" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="100dp"> <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/green_click" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1" android:background="#7700ff00"> </LinearLayout> <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/red_click" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="2" android:background="#77ff0000"> </LinearLayout> </LinearLayout> </RelativeLayout> <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/button_bar_container" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="50dp" android:layout_marginTop="3dp" android:background="#ffff00"> </LinearLayout> </LinearLayout> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
