Don't know about your problem, but why do you want to avoid having to touch entries? This is arguably easier and what most people will be doing on their touch-screen devices anyway. Why add extra buttons (that the user has to touch anyway) to navigate when they can (and probably will) just touch the item they want in one shot? I want selection to be easy for folks with no D-pad or with a phone that only presents the D-pad when in landscape mode (e.g. Droid) . Touching the item you want seems easier than hitting a button to navigate up and down a list, IMO ... - TreKing http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Setting focus programatically in ExpandableListView
I have subclassed ExpandableListActivity to create an activity that presents a simple tree view of the 'world at large' and allows the user to select one for further use by the app. I am having trouble setting focus programatically. One thing that baffles me is that I can use the D-pad to set focus on any of the child or group items in my ExpandableListView, but inside my onChildClick() callback, isFocusable() returns false. If I can set focus with the D-pad, how can isFocusable() return false? My goal is to avoid having the user have to touch individual ExpandableListView entries to select them and to provide a couple of buttons to move the focus up and down inside the list. I want selection to be easy for folks with no D-pad or with a phone that only presents the D-pad when in landscape mode (e.g. Droid) . Is there some way I can programatically inject D-pad key clicks into my app input event stream? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
