So I methodically tried removing items from my top level LinearLayout in the list item layout until clicking started working at the top level. It turns out that with LinearLayout, you can only have one child (total, not just immediate children) before clicking stops working. Then I found some example code where this works but they are using RelativeLayout and if you try to nest a LinearLayout inside it also stops working.
Honestly this all seems like utter nonsense to me. Is there someone who can explain things or point to a document so that all this makes some sense?? Right now it seems like my options are, redo all my layouts using only relative (which just won't work for a more complicated layout like this one) or set a sub-element to be clickable and do the dance to figure out which list element that corresponds to. Thanks again in advance for any information explaining this. On Jul 9, 4:28 pm, eags <[email protected]> wrote: > I did what you said and it worked.
