Android - How to Create Clickable Listview

Android - How to create clickable listview?

In fact it is quite easy:

This is your Activity with the ListView, it implements an OnItemClickListener:

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnItemClickListener {

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        //* *EDIT* * 
        ListView listview = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView1);
        listview.setOnItemClickListener(this);
    }

    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> l, View v, int position, long id) {
        Log.i("HelloListView", "You clicked Item: " + id + " at position:" + position);
            // Then you start a new Activity via Intent
            Intent intent = new Intent();
            intent.setClass(this, ListItemDetail.class);
            intent.putExtra("position", position);
            // Or / And
            intent.putExtra("id", id);
            startActivity(intent);
    }

Edit

The above code would be placed in your MainActivity.java. I changed the name of the class to MainActivity and the contentView to setContentView(R.layout.activity_main) - The names are those of a freshly created Android Project in Eclipse.
Please see also the 2 new lines under //* Edit * - those will set the Listener for clicks on items in the list.

Your activity_main.xml should look like this:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/listView1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:entries="@array/sections" >
    </ListView>
</RelativeLayout>

The array.xml (not string.xml) in your `res/values/` folder looks like this

<resources>
    <string-array name="sections">
        <item >Pro Constructive</item>
        <item >Con Constructive</item>
        <item >1st Speaker Cross</item>
        <item >Pro Rebbutal</item>
        <item >Con Rebuttal</item>
        <item >2nd Speaker Cross</item>
        <item >Pro Summary</item>
        <item >Con Summary</item>
        <item >Grand Cross</item>
        <item >Pro Final Focus</item>
        <item >Con Final Focus</item>
    </string-array>
</resources>

N.B.: If you copy & paste this code it should work. But you will get an error by clicking on an Item because you haven't created the ListItemDetail.class yet.

Here is an example of how this could look:

Your ListItemDetail.java:

public class ListItemDetail extends Activity {

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_listitem);

    Intent intent = getIntent();
    int position = intent.getIntExtra("position", 0);

    // Here we turn your string.xml in an array
    String[] myKeys = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.sections);

    TextView myTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.my_textview);
    myTextView.setText(myKeys[position]);

    }

}

And its activity_listitem.xml

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/my_textview"/>

</LinearLayout>

If you copy past this code it will work.

Clickable items in listview - Android Studio

Luiz's answer is correct. But you do not especially need to implement the fonction. You can make a new instance instead :

myListView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener(){
@Override
Public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> p1, View p2, int i, long p4)
    {
    // Your stuff here
    }
});

Where p1 is your listView, p2 is the clicked view (useful for finding text and changing it inside), p3 is the position in the listView, p4 the unique id.

How do I make the ListView clickable and show some text once it gets clicked?

I think you need good code working samples and a tutorial. A good link is [Using an ArrayAdapter with ListView][1]

[1]: https://github.com/codepath/android_guides/wiki/Using-an-ArrayAdapter-with-ListView .
You asked to populate the Listview, look at the code extending the ArrayAdapter.
Since you want to write text on the bottom, you can create a TextView outside the LinearLayout in the res/layout/item_user.xml. That is one simple way. Try some code and see what you get. You'll have to participate half way since you can learn a lot here.

How to make ListView items clickable?

Use listview's OnItemClickListener

lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener()
   {
      @Override
      public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapter, View v, int position,
            long arg3) 
      {
            // based on the item clicked go to the relevant activity
            String clickedItem = (String)adapter.getItemAtPosition(position);
      }
   });

Make a whole ListView row clickable

Probably the best idea is extending an ArrayAdapter and override the getView() method. The second parameter of this method is a View (usually called convertView, but not necessarily), vaguely speaking, is the representation of a row, so this method will be called for each row. Simply declare your onClickListener() over it.

@Override
public View getView(final int position, View convertView, final ViewGroup parent) {
  ...

  convertView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(final View v) {
      ...
    }
  });

  ...
}
