My list rows are clickable with touch but not with trackball

Postby Mr2001 » Sun Mar 08, 2009 11:57 am

I have a list activity that creates a header row above the data rows from the adapter. I want to receive click events when the user selects the header or a data row (but my data rows have check boxes in them, so this part is tricky). When I use the touch screen, I get this expected behavior:
  1. Tapping on any row causes a click event and a dialog appears.
  2. Long-pressing on a data row causes a context menu to appear.
  3. Long-pressing on the header row does *not* show the context menu.
However, when I use the arrow keys (emulator) or trackball (G1), I get this unexpected behavior:
  1. Selecting any row fails to cause any click events, even though the row's appearance changes like it's being clicked.
  2. Long-pressing on the header row *does* show the context menu, which I don't want.
  3. Occasionally, it doesn't focus the correct row when I move up or down (e.g. it skips from the header to the last data row).

What am I doing wrong?
