Question

I’m trying to set a header and footer in my list view that are clickable buttons. The problem is that the OnClickListener isn’t responding to anything and I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong.

$   View header = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.header_layout, null, true);
    getListView().addHeaderView(header);

    myAdapter = new myAdapter(this);

    header.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // Do what I want when i click it
        }
    });

Update
The best solution I ultimately came up with was adding a separate button to the header layout, and then doing it like this:

View header = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.header_layout, null);
Button headerButton = (Button)header.findViewById(R.id.header_button);
getListView().addHeaderView(header);

headerButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
     @Override
     public void onClick(View v) {
     // My Click Stuff
     }
});

Answer 1

I see a few issues:

• when inflating the header, use getListView() as the second parameter (root, where you have null now)l
• should the header be a View or a ViewGroup? I’ve ended up using ViewGroup in these situations.
• finally — perhaps you should be setting the click listener on the button in the header instead of the header itself?
