Question

I’m trying to combine a listView with a button at the bottom, and everything is working UI-wise, I see my list and the Button at the bottom, except I can’t make the app react when the button is clicked.

I need both the list view and the button to be clickable but I can’t extend both ListActivity and Activity.

So, how do I get both a clickable list and a clickable item?

Answer 1

You can create your own OnClickListener within the class as follows:

Set button to use the OnClickListener as such:

 button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.theButton);
 button.setOnClickListener(buttonClickListener);

And create the OnClickListener:

private OnClickListener buttonClickListener = new OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View v) {
             // do something
            }
        }
    };

You can then fire off whatever you need within that OnClickListener, while keeping the List clickable as before.
