onChildClickListener not responding in ExapandableListView

Question

Why is the Log not getting printed? The log for all the others is working but not for child.

The log for the text view does appear but when I make use of edit text, it does not work.

Why so? Where am I going wrong?

ExpandableListView expListView;

expListView = getExpandableListView();

expListView.setAdapter(new ExAdapter(this));

        expListView.setOnGroupExpandListener(new OnGroupExpandListener() {

            @Override
            public void onGroupExpand(int groupPosition) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            }

        });

        expListView.setOnGroupCollapseListener(new OnGroupCollapseListener() {

            @Override
            public void onGroupCollapse(int groupPosition) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            }

        });

        expListView.setOnChildClickListener(new OnChildClickListener() {

            @Override
            public boolean onChildClick(ExpandableListView parent, View v,
                    int groupPosition, int childPosition, long id) {
                Log.i("Tag", "-------------------------------------------------");
                return true;
            }

        });

    editFName.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {

        @Override

            //doing somthing....

            return false;
        }

    }); 

    return convertView;
} 

Answer 1

Put

myList.setOnChildClickListener(listAdapter);

in your onCreate method.

Then onChildClick method instantly starts working.

Answer 3

Without seeing code this is just a guess but the childCLickListener may be consuming the event so its not reaching the edit text, try returning false in childClickListener

Edit

Okay I just created a small project with your code and I couldn't get the onCildClickListener to fire, changing it to a TextView and it works fine. Its something to do with the EditText (perhaps its consuming the event or its not registering as a click but as a change in focus but I'm just guessing at this point).

So in answer to your question, is it possible - I don't think so. But I did make a small workaround that may be of use.

Attach an onTouchListener() to the EditText and check for MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN
