Horizontal Scrollview inside ListView item?

I have a ListView item layout that is using a HorizontalScrollView in the center. I have used the android attribute "android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants"" on my parent LinearLayout so that the ListView items are still selectable.

The problem I am having is that when clicking the part of the ListView item which is the HorizontalScrollView, the ListView item click event is not called.

How can I get the click event of the HorizontalScrollView to call the ListView list item click event?

Adding boolean variables touchDown and touchUp to the adapter class as follows seems to work fairly well:

private class MyListAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<MyObject>{
    ...
    //touch down + touch up with no other motion events in between = click
    boolean touchDown = false;
    boolean touchUp = false;
    private int iHostViewID;
    ...

    public MyListAdapter(Context context,int viewResourceId, List<MyObject> objects) {
        super(context, textViewResourceId, objects);
        iHostViewID = viewResourceId;
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int pos, View convertView, ViewGroup parent){
        View itemView = convertView;

        //iff we cannot re-use a view
        if(itemView == null){
            LayoutInflater inflater = (
            (LayoutInflater)hContext.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
            itemView = inflater.inflate(iHostViewID, null);
        }

        final View hItemView = itemView;
        final int hPosition = pos;
        ...
        final HorizontalScrollView textDataSV = 
        (HorizontalScrollView)itemView.findViewById(R.id.widget_hsv);
        textDataSV.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener(){

                @Override
                public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {

                    if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN){

                        touchDown = true;
                    }
                    else if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP){

                        touchUp = true;
                     }

                    else{

                        touchDown = false;
                        touchUp = false;
                    }

                    if(touchDown && touchUp){
                        //click 
                        //mMyListView is the reference to the list view
                        //instantiated in the view controller class responsible
                        //for setting this adapter class as the list view's adapter
                        mMyListView.performItemClick(hItemView, hPosition, 
                        hItemView.getId());
                    }



                    return false;
                 }
         });
    }
}

It's far from perfect, but should work for most standard use-cases

HorizontalScrollView doesn't have "onClick()", see this http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/HorizontalScrollView.html

It support gestures and have "onTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev)"

So you can use it as click. See followin demo which I hav prepared.

//      Followin  code will not work  for HorizontalScrollView
        /*hsv1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Toast.makeText(HorizontalListActivity.this, tvMiddle.getText().toString().trim(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        });*/

        hsv1.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
                Toast.makeText(YourActivity.this, "Your Msg", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                return false;
            }
        });
