Question

I have images displayed in a GridView as in this tutorial. I want to be able to click on a single image and do other events and I need to know what image was clicked.

Do I have to add imageView.onKeyDown(keyCode, event) in the ImageAdapter class? Here is the code as it currently exists:

@Override public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {   ImageView imageView;   if (convertView == null) {       // if it's not recycled, initialize some attributes     imageView = new ImageView(mContext);     imageView.setLayoutParams(new GridView.LayoutParams(85, 85));     imageView.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.CENTER_CROP);     imageView.setPadding(8, 8, 8, 8);     //does this need imageView.onKeyDown(keyCode, event)?   }    else {     imageView = (ImageView) convertView;   }    imageView.setImageResource(mThumbIds[position]);   return imageView; } 

How will it indicate what image was clicked? How do I create the proper handler?

Answer 1

For a GridView you can use the setOnItemClickListener method to have an OnItemClickListener listener. That listener will give you a method that you must override with the signature

onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View v, int position, long id) 

where you get the position of the item in the grid that was clicked and the View that is inside the cell of the grid. Is that what you need?
