How to make child of expandablelistview clickable and do something else?

Question

Hi just wondering how I can make a listener or sorts. I wanna make it so when one of the childs are click it opens a YouTube video INSIDE the App, not as a Web actitivity....anyways the iportant part is not the youtube part, i just want to know how i can make each child open a different youtube link of its own.

To be clear, my question is: HOW can i make each child do something different, for example open a youtube link or EVEN open a new intent.

this is what i got so far.

public class Adobe extends Activity{

    ExpandableListAdapter listAdapter;
    ExpandableListView expListView;
    List<String> listDataHeader;
    HashMap<String, List<String>> listDataChild;
    String name;

    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.adobe);

     // get the list view
        expListView = (ExpandableListView) findViewById(R.id.lvExp);

        prepareListData();

        listAdapter = new ExpandableListAdapter(this, listDataHeader, listDataChild);

     // setting list adapter, show the list
        expListView.setAdapter(listAdapter);

        expListView.setOnChildClickListener(new ExpandableListView.OnChildClickListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onChildClick(ExpandableListView parent, View v,
                    int groupPosition, int childPosition, long id) {


                            // This is just testing to see what i come up with
                name = v.getTag().toString();

                switch (childPosition) {
                case 0:
                    Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Intro", Toast.LENGTH_LONG ).show();
                    break;

                default:
                    Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "" + childPosition, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT ).show();
                    break;
                }

                return false;
            }
        });
    }

PS. the child as set as Buttons instead of Textview in the XML file, but if i can do with Textview then ill will.

PSSS. the list is already made in another function, just didnt included here so it wasnt too long.

@CommonsWare My question is HOW to make each child do something diferent. — user1919840, Jan 11 '14 at 20:08
You already have the code to make each child do something different -- it's your `switch(childPosition)`. So, why are you asking a question when you already have the answer? — CommonsWare, Jan 11 '14 at 20:11
@CommonsWare but it is not working, it is not doing the case statements so something is wrong. — user1919840, Jan 11 '14 at 20:13
Did you make sure that your child items are not focusable? Do they contain views that can take focus? E.g. Button or EditTextView. If so your OnChildClickListener will not be called. — Lars Blumberg, Jan 11 '14 at 20:29
@LarsBlumberg Thanks, they were buttons and i switched them to textviews and it worked — user1919840, Jan 11 '14 at 20:30
I posted my comment as an answer that you can accept to show others the solution. — Lars Blumberg, Jan 11 '14 at 20:40
