[android] Android : How to set onClick event for Button in List item of ListView

I want to add onClick event for buttons used in item of Listview. How can I give onClick event for buttons in List Item.

This question is related to android listview

The answer is


FOR KOTLIN USERS

inside your getView(...) method if you try to start an activity through button onClickListener:

   myButton.setOnClickListener{
        val intent = Intent(this@CurrentActivity, SecondActivity::class.java)
        startActivity(intent)
   }

Pass the correct pointer for "this"


In getview method put listener outside checking the view..try to follow this..it worked in my case..How to Increase or decrease value of edittext in listview's each row?


In Adapter Class

public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
    LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
    View row = inflater.inflate(R.layout.vehicals_details_row, parent, false);
    Button deleteImageView = (Button) row.findViewById(R.id.DeleteImageView);
    deleteImageView.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View v) {
            //...
        }
    });
}

But you can get an issue - listView row not clickable. Solution:

  • make ListView focusable android:focusable="true"
  • Button not focusable android:focusable="false"

I assume you have defined custom adapter for your ListView.

If this is the case then you can assign onClickListener for your button inside the custom adapter's getView() method.


In your custom adapter inside getView method :

button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        // Do things Here 
    }
});

This has been discussed in many posts but still I could not figure out a solution with:

android:focusable="false"
android:focusableInTouchMode="false"
android:focusableInTouchMode="false"

Below solution will work with any of the ui components : Button, ImageButtons, ImageView, Textview. LinearLayout, RelativeLayout clicks inside a listview cell and also will respond to onItemClick:

Adapter class - getview():

    @Override
        public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
            View view = convertView;
            if (view == null) {
                view = lInflater.inflate(R.layout.my_ref_row, parent, false);
            }
            final Organization currentOrg = organizationlist.get(position).getOrganization();

            TextView name = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.name);
            Button btn = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.btn_check);
            btn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    context.doSelection(currentOrg);

                }
            });

       if(currentOrg.isSelected()){
            btn.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.sub_search_tick);
        }else{
            btn.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.sub_search_tick_box);
        }

    }

In this was you can get the button clicked object to the activity. (Specially when you want the button to act as a check box with selected and non-selected states):

    public void doSelection(Organization currentOrg) {
        Log.e("Btn clicked ", currentOrg.getOrgName());
        if (currentOrg.isSelected() == false) {
            currentOrg.setSelected(true);
        } else {
            currentOrg.setSelected(false);
        }
        adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

    }

Class for ArrayList & ArrayAdapter

class RequestClass {
    private String Id;
    private String BookingTime;
    private String UserName;
    private String Rating;

    public RequestClass(String Id,String bookingTime,String userName,String rating){
        this.Id=Id;
        this.BookingTime=bookingTime;
        this.UserName=userName;
        this.Rating=rating;
    }

    public String getId(){return Id; }
    public String getBookingTime(){return BookingTime; }
    public String getUserName(){return UserName; }
    public String getRating(){return Rating; }


}

Main Activity:

 ArrayList<RequestClass> _requestList;
    _requestList=new ArrayList<>();
                    try {
                        JSONObject jsonobject = new JSONObject(result);
                        JSONArray JO = jsonobject.getJSONArray("Record");
                        JSONObject object;
                        for (int i = 0; i < JO.length(); i++) {
                            object = (JSONObject) JO.get(i);

                            _requestList.add(new RequestClass( object.optString("playerID"),object.optString("booking_time"),
                                    object.optString("username"),object.optString("rate") ));
                        }//end of for loop

                        RequestCustomAdapter adapter = new RequestCustomAdapter(context, R.layout.requestlayout, _requestList);
                        listView.setAdapter(adapter);

ListView in Main xml:

<ListView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:focusable="true"
        android:id="@+id/AllRequestListView">

    </ListView>

Resource Layout for list view requestlayout.xml:

<RelativeLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/requestLayout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">
    <TextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/bookingTime"/>
    <TextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@+id/bookingTime"
        android:text="Temp Name"
        android:id="@+id/userName"/>
    <TextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@+id/userName"
        android:text="No Rating"
        android:id="@+id/rating"/>
    <Button
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/AcceptRequestButton"
        android:focusable="false"
        android:layout_below="@+id/rating"
        android:text="Accept"/>
    <Button
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/RejectRequestButton"
        android:layout_below="@+id/AcceptRequestButton"
        android:focusable="false"
        android:text="Reject"
        />

</RelativeLayout>

I find

final Button yourButton = (Button)view.findViewById(R.id.your_button);
yourButton.setFocusable(false);
yourButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
        ...///);

can solve the problem. If you want to get some data when clicking the button, using tags is helpful. Here the button is declared final because it will be used within inner class.


Try This,

public View getView(final int position, View convertView,ViewGroup parent) 
{
   if(convertView == null)
   {
        LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
        convertView  = (LinearLayout)inflater.inflate(R.layout.YOUR_LAYOUT, null);
   }

   Button Button1= (Button)  convertView  .findViewById(R.id.BUTTON1_ID);

   Button1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() 
   { 
       @Override
       public void onClick(View v) 
       {
           // Your code that you want to execute on this button click
       }

   });


   return convertView ;
}
