Hello, I have the following situation. I have a LinearLayout that has an onclick listener on it. In the linear layout, I have a TextView that has some text in it. I use Linkify on the TextView with the following intention:
If there is a linkable item (I used Linkify.ALL) on the TextView, I would like that portion of the TextView to become clickable. I would like any other clicks within either the TextView or outside of it to be handled by the parent linear layouts on click listener. I am noticing that the TextView eats the click event whether there are links or not. I am also noticing that when the TextView ends with the link (for example, lets say the text is "I like this url www.someurl.com"), then the text "I like this url" is not clickable, however, the rest of the entire TextView is clickable, including the "www.someurl.com" as well as anything outside it (which is undesirable behavior for me). If I add some text such as "I like this url www.someurl.com very much", then I notice that the "I like this url" and the "very much" are not clickable, but if the link or anything in the same x coordinate but no matter what the y coordinate all links to the "www.someurl.com". I would really like my TextView to really act like a transparent label that possibly has a hotspot. If it does not, then it should not interfere with the bubbling of events. I have included my sample code for you to see exactly what I am talking about. Can somebody offer me a suggestion to enable me to achieve my desired behavior? Much appreciated, Nik -------------------- main.xml -------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"> <EditText android:id="@+id/copyFrom" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:hint="Enter text here" android:lines="4" /> /> <Button android:id="@+id/button" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Copy" /> /> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:id="@+id/addListenerHere" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1" android:background="#FFFFFFFF"> <TextView android:id="@+id/copyTo" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="" android:background="#FF000232" android:lines="10" android:autoLink="all" android:layout_margin="20dp" /> </LinearLayout> </LinearLayout> ----------------- LinkifyTextViewActivity.java ------------------ import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.View; import android.widget.Button; import android.widget.EditText; import android.widget.TextView; import android.widget.Toast; public class LinkifyTextViewActivity extends Activity { /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); final EditText copyFrom = (EditText) findViewById (R.id.copyFrom); final TextView copyTo = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.copyTo); Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button); button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View view) { copyTo.setText(copyFrom.getText().toString()); copyTo.setClickable(false); } }); View viewToListenTo = findViewById(R.id.addListenerHere); viewToListenTo.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View view) { Toast makeText = Toast.makeText (LinkifyTextViewActivity.this, "Clicked the parent", 200); makeText.show(); } }); } } --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
