Android EditText inside a ListView

Question

I am having a lot of trouble getting an EditText within a ListView row to behave correctly. Does anyone know of any tutorials that walk you through the process?

Thanks!

As of Android 4.1.0, these two components seem not working together as expected, something is buggy there. There are various proposed work arounds but all look like a low level hacks that may stop working or even cause they own problems in the future versions.

It is possible to use LinearLayout to simulate a list with comparable effort. EditText talks much better with LinearLayout.
