No event received with onClickListener when ImageView has flag clickable=true

Question

I have RelativeLayout with android:clickable="true" to change image color from grey to white when button stay pressed (otherwise if android:clickable="false" it doesn't work):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
android:id="@+id/contacts"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_weight="0.2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/image"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:adjustViewBounds="true"
    android:clickable="true"   <!-- here clickable = true  -->
    android:contentDescription="@string/content_description_contacts"
    android:scaleType="fitXY"
    android:src="@drawable/contacts" />

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/text"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:layout_alignBottom="@id/image"
    android:paddingBottom="10dp"
    android:textColor="@drawable/text_color"
    android:text="@string/button_contacts"
    android:textSize="12sp" />    
</RelativeLayout>

enter image description here

and seems like:

My contacts Selector seems:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true" 
    android:drawable="@drawable/contacts_over" />
<item android:state_selected="true"
    android:drawable="@drawable/contacts_selected" />
<item
     android:drawable="@drawable/contacts_default" />
</selector>

As you can see I have 3 images: by default, selected and pressed.

According to documentation, after setting android:clickable="true" to ImageView I stopped to get onClickListener event.

     contacts = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.contacts);
 contacts.setOnClickListener(this);

So I have

or set clickable="false" and "state_pressed" doesn't work
or set clickable="true" and onClickListener doesn't work (no event received)

What should I do, any workaround?

Thanks,

Try to set onClickListener to your ImageView instead of RelativeLayout.

Work well, if you set Listner to your Imageview instead Layout.

Try using ImageButton widget instead of ImageView.

Can't use it Because Button name has been provided separately. – Maxim Shoustin Apr 23 '13 at 10:49
