ImageButton click event works, but ListView click event does not

Question

`ListView`:

<ListView android:id="@+id/list11" 
          android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
          android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
          android:layout_weight="1" 
          android:cacheColorHint="#00000000"> 
</ListView>

`custome.xml`:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="horizontal" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/txt_groupname"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
        android:layout_weight="3"
        android:text="asdasd"
        android:textColor="@color/TextColor" />

    <ImageButton
        android:id="@+id/btn_delete"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
        android:background="@drawable/delete_gp"
        android:focusable="false"
        android:focusableInTouchMode="false" />

</LinearLayout>

`Activity.java`:

listView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
        long itemValue = listView.getItemIdAtPosition(position);
        Log.e("==>", "" + itemValue);
    }

});

When I click on the <ImageButton> it works fine, but when I click on <ListView> it does not work.

How can I solve this problem?

@Go2 try `android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants"` for the root elementin custome.xml — Raghunandan, Apr 02 '14 at 11:43
@Raghunandan does it require if we had kept all child as `android:focusable="false"` .? :-/ — SilentKiller, Apr 02 '14 at 11:44
@Raghunandan i checked. and it is working fine without it. that's why i asked sir. that do we require to do that too.? — SilentKiller, Apr 02 '14 at 11:46
@SilentKiller yes it works with ImageButton . check this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11428303/android-cant-click-on-listview-row-with-imagebutton — Raghunandan, Apr 02 '14 at 11:47
@Raghunandan thanks for explanation. i was unaware of this. :) — SilentKiller, Apr 02 '14 at 11:48
@SilentKiller also `android:focusable="false"` will prevent the focus when you click on the same. If you want a listener for ImageButton then when you click it needs to focus. I am not sure if it s the best explanation. — Raghunandan, Apr 02 '14 at 11:54
may be it is or its not. But it clear me. where to use `android:descendantFocusability` :) — SilentKiller, Apr 02 '14 at 11:57

ImageButton takes focus when you click on list item

Add the below

android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants"

to the root element in custome.xml

@Go2 also what does this return `listView.getItemIdAtPosition(position)`. You need to cast it to the proper type. What is the datatype? – Raghunandan Apr 02 '14 at 12:02
@Go2 cast it to `long` its better – Raghunandan Apr 02 '14 at 12:18

You will use this code and it will ask to cast the object you just put the casting after it will fine....

listView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
        long itemValue = parent.getItemIdAtPosition(position);
        Log.e("==>", "" + itemValue);
    }

});
