Android: Layout doesn't change background on click

Have following piece of layout:

<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/colleagues_show_email_linearLayout"
              android:layout_width="match_parent"
              android:layout_height="wrap_content"
              android:orientation="horizontal"
              android:clickable="true"
              android:background="?attr/clickableItemBackground">

    <ImageView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
               android:layout_height="wrap_content"
               android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher"/>

    <TextView android:id="@+id/colleagues_show_email_textView"
              android:layout_width="match_parent"
              android:layout_height="match_parent"
              android:gravity="center"/>

</LinearLayout>

When i click on ImageView, LinearLayout changes background the same way as in the ListView. But clicking on TextView doesn't change background. What's wrong?

Update I had a View.OnClickListener (with only onClick(View v) {Log.d(TAG, "Email onClick"); }) on the TextView and that was the issue. After removing setOnClickListener line it starts to work as expected.

To change the colour of the layout

imageview.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {

        linearlayout.setBackgroundColor(
            Color.parseColor("your colourcode(ex.#AE00FF)"));

    }
});

To get the colour

ColorDrawable cd = (ColorDrawable) listview.getBackground();
int colorCode = cd.getColor();

The ImageView has no click event but the TextView handles the click event on its own. When you tap it, it allows you to edit the text inside. You are actually not clicking on the List item, so it doesn't execute the List selector. You will have to manage to fire the List item onClick event from the TextView, probably from the TextView's onClick event... or maybe THIS THREAD could help also. It suggests using android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants" on your layout.

Good luck

Set the textview height and width to wrap_content.
