Focus on EditText in ListView when descendants of blocks (Android)

Question

I have a customized ListView . Each row has an EditText, Buttons & TextView . To make ListView list items available, I saved android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants" for the row layout. If I do not support descendantFocusability , I cannot perform the action for onItemClick . If I keep descendantFocusability , the EditText that is present in my line does not gain focus. I want the EditText focus, and also I would have to click on each line to go to another Activity . Can anyone help me on this. Thanks to everyone.

Edit: in the CustomAdapter for EditText, I tried to save onTouchListener , as well as onClickListener , where I request Focus, but this does not work.

Answer 1

Please do not use setOnItemClickListener to click on an element. I think you should use click element view inside adaptive method

 convertView.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { Toast.makeText(context, "click item",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } }); 

Remove this from the layout of the main list.

 android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants" 

Thanks and enjoy this code!

Answer 2

Try adding this line to your activity in the manifest.xml file

 android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustResize|adjustPan" 

Answer 3

you do it like this:

first set in your android:focusable="false";

then you want the row to be pressed: for this in your customAdapter you have to do so

  v.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub Toast.makeText(context, "Hello world",2000).show(); } }); 

This will work.

By default, your elements should now have the click option when you do android:focusable="false" in the list view.

There is no need to use descendantFocusability in a ListView.

Answer 5

main.xml

 <ListView android:id="@+id/listView1" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:animationCache="false" android:scrollingCache="false" android:smoothScrollbar="true" > </ListView> 

Create an ArrayList, add data to the arraylist.

 lv=(ListView)findViewById(R.id.listView1); lv.setItemsCanFocus(true); for(int i=0;i<30 data-blogger-escaped-br="" data-blogger-escaped-i=""> list.add(i); } 

1) create an adapter for the list and set it as a tag for edittext.

2) Usually when you scroll a position, the position changes. So you should get the edittext tag and set it to edittext id. Because of this, you can avoid changing the position of a position.

 holder.caption = (EditText) convertView .findViewById(R.id.editText12); holder.caption.setTag(position); holder.caption.setText(list.get(position).toString()); convertView.setTag(holder); }else { holder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag(); } int tag_position=(Integer) holder.caption.getTag(); holder.caption.setId(tag_position); 

Finally, add a text observer to the edittext and save the changes to the correct position in the list.

 holder.caption.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() { @Override public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) { final int position2 = holder.caption.getId(); final EditText Caption = (EditText) holder.caption; if(Caption.getText().toString().length()>0){ list.set(position2,Integer.parseInt(Caption.getText().toString())); }else{ Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Please enter some value", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } } @Override public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub } @Override public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) { } });
