Focus on EditText in ListView when block descendants (Android)

Question

I have a customized ListView. Each row has an EditText, Buttons & TextView. In order to make the ListView items clickable I have kept android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants" for row layout. If I don't keep the descendantFocusability I am not able to implement an action for onItemClick. If I keep descendantFocusability the EditTextwhich is present in my row is not gaining focus. I want the EditText focusable and also I should be able to click on each row to navigate to another Activity. Can anyone please help me in this. Thanks all.

Edit : In the CustomAdapter for EditText, I tried keeping onTouchListenerand also onClickListenerwhere I requestFocus but that does not seem to work.

Answer 1

please Don't use setOnItemClickListener for item click .. i think that you should be use item view click inside adapter method

convertView.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Toast.makeText(context, "click item",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        });

Remove this from main list item layout

android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants" 

Thanks and enjoy this code !
