So I have a custom ListView object. The
list items have two textviews stacked on top of each other, plus a horizontal progress bar that I want to remain hidden until I actually do something. To the far right is a checkbox that I only want to display when the user needs to download updates to their database(s). When I disable the checkbox by setting the visibility to Visibility.GONE, I am able to click on the
list items. When the checkbox is visible, I am unable to click on anything in the
list except the checkboxes. I've done some searching but haven't found anything relevant to my current situation. I found this question but I'm using an overridden ArrayAdapter since I'm using ArrayLists to contain the
list of databases internally. Do I just need to get the LinearLayout view and add an onClickListener like Tom did? I'm not sure.
Here's the listview row layout XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight"
android:padding="6dip">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/UpdateNameText"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="0dip"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:textSize="18sp"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0dip"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:id="@+id/UpdateStatusText"
android:singleLine="true"
android:ellipsize="marquee"
/>
<ProgressBar android:id="@+id/UpdateProgress"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:indeterminateOnly="false"
android:progressDrawable="@android:drawable/progress_horizontal"
android:indeterminateDrawable="@android:drawable/progress_indeterminate_horizontal"
android:minHeight="10dip"
android:maxHeight="10dip"
/>
</LinearLayout>
<CheckBox android:text=""
android:id="@+id/UpdateCheckBox"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
</LinearLayout>
And here's the class that extends the ListActivity. Obviously it's still in development so forgive the things that are missing or might be left laying around:
import java.util.List;
import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.CheckBox;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.ProgressBar;
import android.widget.TextView;
import com.xxxx.android.R;
import com.xxxx.android.DAO.AccountManager;
import com.xxxx.android.model.UpdateItem;
public class UpdateActivity extends ListActivity {
AccountManager lookupDb;
boolean allSelected;
UpdateListAdapter list;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
lookupDb = new AccountManager(this);
lookupDb.loadUpdates();
setContentView(R.layout.update);
allSelected = false;
list = new UpdateListAdapter(this, R.layout.update_row, lookupDb.getUpdateItems());
setListAdapter(list);
