How To Handle Android Simpleexpandablelistadapter Entry Selection

I have created an expandable list in my Android application using the SimpleExpandableListAdapter type. But I'm at a complete loss as to how I detect events when one of the child e

Solution 1:

It should be:

list.setOnChildClickListener(newExpandableListView.OnChildClickListener() {
    publicvoidonChildClick(ExpandableListView parent, View v, int groupPosition, int childPosition, long id) {
        Objecto= (Object)adapter.getChild(groupPosition, childPosition);
        // perform work on child object here
    }
}  

Though, it sounds like you tried this... ExpandableListView.OnChildClickListener says that it is, in fact, the way to do it.

Also, have you defined the methods allItemsAreEnabled() and/or isEnabled() for your ListAdapter? You shouldn't have to, but maybe they are currently defined and returning the wrong values?

Solution 2:

Also...

If you happen to be using a class that extends BaseExpandableListAdapter then their is a default implemented method you'll have to set the return boolean for.

@OverridepublicbooleanisChildSelectable(int groupPosition, int childPosition) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stubreturntrue;
}

By default this method is returning false, swap to true(if this is the case) and your OnChildClickListener should start resolving correctly.
