I hope I can help here. I assume that you have custom layout for listView items, and this layout consists of button and some other views - like TextView, ImageView or whatever. Now you want to have different event fired on button click and different event fired on everything else clicked.
You can achieve that without using onListItemClick() of your ListActivity.
Here is what you have to do:
You are using custom layout, so probably you are overriding getView() method from your custom adapter. The trick is to set the different listeners for your button and different for the whole view (your row). Take a look at the example:
private class MyAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String> implements OnClickListener {
public MyAdapter(Context context, int resource, int textViewResourceId,
List<String> objects) {
super(context, resource, textViewResourceId, objects);
}
@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
String text = getItem(position);
if (null == convertView) {
convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_row, null);
}
//take the Button and set listener. It will be invoked when you click the button.
Button btn = (Button) convertView.findViewById(R.id.button);
btn.setOnClickListener(this);
//set the text... not important
TextView tv = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.text);
tv.setText(text);
//!!! and this is the most important part: you are settin listener for the whole row
convertView.setOnClickListener(new OnItemClickListener(position));
return convertView;
}
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Log.v(TAG, "Row button clicked");
}
}
Your OnItemClickListener class could be declared like here:
private class OnItemClickListener implements OnClickListener{
private int mPosition;
OnItemClickListener(int position){
mPosition = position;
}
@Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
Log.v(TAG, "onItemClick at position" + mPosition);
}
}
Of course you will probably add some more parameters to OnItemClickListener constructor.
And one important thing - implementation of getView shown above is pretty ugly, normally you should use ViewHolder pattern to avoid findViewById calls.. but you probably already know that.
My custom_row.xml file is RelativeLayout with Button of id "button", TextView of id "text" and ImageView of id "image" - just to make things clear.
Regards!
