Question

I already spent a lot of time trying to solve this problem, I’ve seen a lot other StackOverflow Posts about this topic but I couldn’t find a solution that worked for me.

I have a ListActivity and a custom ArrayAdapter. There are several buttons in my listview for example a delete button. However the onItemClick method would only be invoked if the TextView of the list is clicked. I can add OnClickListeners to the buttons, but then I have the problem that I don’t know the position of the element to which the button belongs. I know I could set tags for every single button, but there has to be a better way of doing it!

This is my adapter:

    private class ItemListAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<Item> {
    private ArrayList<Item> items;
    private int countItems = 0;

    public ItemListAdapter(Context ctx, int textViewResourceId, ArrayList<Item> itemList){
        super(ctx, textViewResourceId, itemList);
        this.items = itemList;  
        this.countItems = itemList.size();
    }

    public int getCount(){
        return countItems;
    }

    public Item getItem(int pos){
        return itemList.get(pos);
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        View row = convertView;

        //Get the current list item
        final Item currentItem = itemList.get(position);

        if (row == null) {
            LayoutInflater vi = (LayoutInflater) getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
            row = vi.inflate(R.layout.itemlist_item_row, null);
        }
        Item item = items.get(position);
        if (item != null){
            TextView bt = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.bt_itemlist_item);
            if (bt != null){
                bt.setText(item.getName());
            }
        }
        return row;
    }

}

Would be great if someone could tell me the best solution for this.

Answer 1

Set the OnClickListeners for Buttons in getView() and you’ll get the position
