Question

I have a Custom Listview but i’m running into a weird issue when I click one item: it only responds when I click on the text itself, it doesn’t work on the whole “rectangle”

this is my listelement.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>


<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@android:id/text1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:paddingLeft="6dip"
android:minHeight="20dip"
/>

and this is the java code:

public class TabFragment5 extends ListFragment {
/** (non-Javadoc)
 * @see android.support.v4.app.Fragment#onCreateView(android.view.LayoutInflater, android.view.ViewGroup, android.os.Bundle)
 */
String[] month ={
           "January                     ", 
           "February", 
           "March", 
           "April",
           "May", 
           "June", 
           "July", 
           "August",
           "September", 
           "October", 
           "November", 
           "December"
         };



         @Override
         public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
          super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
          ListAdapter myListAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(
            getActivity(),
            R.layout.listelement,
            month);
          setListAdapter(myListAdapter);
         }

         @Override
         public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
           Bundle savedInstanceState) {
          return inflater.inflate(R.layout.tab_frag5_layout, container, false);
         }

         @Override
         public void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
          // TODO Auto-generated method stub
          Toast.makeText(
            getActivity(), 
            getListView().getItemAtPosition(position).toString(), 
            Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
         }
        }

Nevermind the silly program, i’m just running a tutorial for now. Any hints on how to make it work on the whole list item rectangle? Thanks

Answer 1

ListFragment already has a ListView in it, so you may not need to inflate a layout from onCreateView unless you are making a custom layout that has a ListView inside it. I imagine your problem is in your layout for tab_frag5_layout. Whatever you are wrapping the ListView in is probably shrinking the width of the ListView.

Combining your onCreate and onCreateView into a onActivityCreated implementation worked for me.

@Override
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{          
  super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);

  ListAdapter myListAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(
        getActivity(),
        R.layout.listelement,
        month);
  setListAdapter(myListAdapter);

}
