Android get position listview in OnTouchListener()

Question

i've a listview in which the users can "swipe" to delete item from the listview. But i want to have the possibility to see "details" of this item. I want to call a new activity when the user "click" on an item.

I use this to allow the swipe to delete :

View.OnTouchListener mTouchListener = new View.OnTouchListener()

And so i'm using it with the adapter :

    mAdapter = new TestAdapter(getActivity(),
            R.layout.layout_test, list, mTouchListener);
    listV.setAdapter(mAdapter);

Before to use that, i used onItemClick to get the position of the item choosed.

But how can i get the POSITION without the function onItemClick ?

Use onListItemClickListener() for the ListView object. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5716599/how-to-set-onlistitemclick-for-listview-in-android — Ryhan, Jun 16 '14 at 19:52

To know the position in an ArrayAdapter you can use the adapter.getPosition(view) http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ArrayAdapter.html#getPosition(T).

You can use a TouchListener with a onListItemClick in your adapter to handle the swipe action and the click action (to open a detail for example).

Also using a TouchListener you can use something similar to Roman Nurik code to retrieve the position by the view clicked.

https://github.com/romannurik/Android-SwipeToDismiss/blob/master/src/com/example/android/swipedismiss/SwipeDismissListViewTouchListener.java

// Find the child view that was touched (perform a hit test)
Rect rect = new Rect();
int childCount = mListView.getChildCount();
int[] listViewCoords = new int[2];
mListView.getLocationOnScreen(listViewCoords);
int x = (int) motionEvent.getRawX() - listViewCoords[0];
int y = (int) motionEvent.getRawY() - listViewCoords[1];
View child;
for (int i = 0; i < childCount; i++) {
    child = mListView.getChildAt(i);
    child.getHitRect(rect);
    if (rect.contains(x, y)) {
         mDownView = child;
         break;
    }
}

if (mDownView != null) {
    mDownX = motionEvent.getRawX();
    mDownY = motionEvent.getRawY();
    mDownPosition = mListView.getPositionForView(mDownView);
 }

1) You should create your custom Adapter for ListView.
2) In getView method of this Adapter you should create OnTouchListener for each item (Layout or rootView).
