Is there any clickable area that holds a TextView

Question

I am trying to have a clickable listView of items...For each element in the list, I am having a clickable TextView....the problem is that it's too limited for the user to click only on the TextView to access what's inside the element. Instead, I want the whole list item that holds that TextView to be clickable so that the user can easily click anywhere (not specifically on the text). Can anyone help? Thank you.

take a look at this question, it might help you: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2026873/android-way-to-appear-bordered-text-on-the-textview — MByD, Apr 08 '12 at 18:52
So you are using `OnClickListener`? If so, you are doing it wrong. Set an `OnItemClickListener` to your `ListView` and that should do it. — Cristian, Apr 08 '12 at 18:52
I don't have the normal ViewList, I am inheriting ArrayAdapter and overriding getView method to set each item seperately on my listView...I have two items. a dropbox and a Textview...I want the TextView to be clickable on the whole item. — Traveling Salesman, Apr 08 '12 at 18:57
What exactly means you don't have a normal ListView? Could you post some cheezbur... source pls? Cause in the end you usually plug in a "source object" like an 'ArrayList' into the ListAdapter via 'setListAdapter() — nuala, Apr 08 '12 at 19:17

as you can see, I don't have a listview variable like this one...check my code above – Traveling Salesman Apr 09 '12 at 05:13
you are extending ListViewActivity so this..setOnItemOnClickListener() – MAC Apr 09 '12 at 08:31
no I am not extending ListViewActivity. I am extending ListActivity – Traveling Salesman Apr 09 '12 at 11:44
I solved the problem simply by this line, checkBox.setFocusable(false); – Traveling Salesman Apr 09 '12 at 11:58
