I have an application which has some activities that display a single list and extends ListActivity. The application also has other activities that have several things on the screen in addition to a list, so these activity classes use extends Activity and then include a ListView in the layout file.
I have noticed that ListActivity provides different default behavior than the behavior provided by putting ListView in a layout file. When the list is presented on the screen and the user touches an item in the list the active area on the screen which responds to the touch is different for ListActivity vs ListView. For ListActivity I can touch anywhere on the row and it will respond, but for ListView I must touch an area of the row where a word is displayed. With ListView if the row is blank on the right side of the screen (because the word or phrase is short), when I touch the right side of the row nothing happens. It only responds to touches on the word itself. With ListActivity I can touch the blank area of the row and it works fine. I think that this must be the result of ListActivity changing some setting on the list which is not provided as a default by ListView. The behavior of responding to a touch anywhere on the row is much nicer than the default behavior I get when using ListView. With ListView, it is very annoying to touch the row but get no response because I didn't touch the word itself. Does anyone know why these behave differently? Does anyone know what setting I should change on ListView to get the nicer behavior that is the default with ListActivity? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
