ListView items NOT clickable

Question

In my MainActivity I have a ListView that shows all the elements from a SQLite Database and it works fine. Now I want to add a context menu so when I press an item, I can modify or delete the element. The problem is that the items of the ListView aren't clickable and I don't know why. What is my problem? Maybe the Deprecations I have in showEvents() and in addPlayer()? Thanks for the help!

MainActivity

public class MainActivity extends ListActivity {
private EventsData events;

private static int[] TO = { R.id.rowid, R.id.nome, R.id.valore, R.id.ruolo, R.id.numero, };

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    events = new EventsData(this);
    try {
        Cursor cursor = getEvents();
        showEvents(cursor);
    } finally {
        events.close();
    }
}

private static String[] FROM = { _ID, NAME, VALUE, POSITION, NUMBER };
private static String ORDER_BY = NAME + " ASC" ;

private Cursor getEvents() {
    // Perform a managed query. The Activity will handle closing
    // and re-querying the cursor when needed.
    SQLiteDatabase db = events.getReadableDatabase();
    Cursor cursor = db.query(TABLE_NAME, FROM, null, null, null, null, ORDER_BY);
    startManagingCursor(cursor);
    return cursor;
}

private void showEvents(Cursor cursor) {
    // Set up data 
    SimpleCursorAdapter adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this,
            R.layout.item, cursor, FROM, TO);
    setListAdapter(adapter);
}

public void addPlayer(View view) {
    startActivity(new Intent(this, AddingActivity.class));
}
}

EventsData

public class EventsData extends SQLiteOpenHelper {
private static final String DATABASE_NAME = "events.db";
private static final int DATABASE_VERSION = 1;

/** Create a helper object for the Events database */ 
public EventsData(Context ctx) {
    super(ctx, DATABASE_NAME, null, DATABASE_VERSION);
    } 
@Override 
public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {
    db.execSQL( "CREATE TABLE " + TABLE_NAME + " (" + _ID
            + " INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, " + NAME
            + " TEXT NOT NULL," + VALUE + " TEXT NOT NULL," + POSITION
            + " TEXT NOT NULL," + NUMBER + " TEXT);" );
}

    @Override
    public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion,
            int newVersion) {
        db.execSQL( "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS " + TABLE_NAME);
        onCreate(db);
    }
}

Constants

public interface Constants extends BaseColumns {
public static final String TABLE_NAME = "events" ;
// Columns in the Events database 
public static final String NAME = "nome" ;
public static final String VALUE = "valore" ;
public static final String POSITION = "ruolo" ;
public static final String NUMBER = "numero" ;
}

Answer 1

in your XML file delete the listview's clickable property. And in your Main Activity change like this.

public class MainActivity extends ListActivity {
private EventsData events;

private static int[] TO = { R.id.rowid, R.id.nome, R.id.valore, R.id.ruolo, R.id.numero, };



 @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    ListView mylist = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.yourlist);
    mylist.setonitemclicklistener(New OnitemclickListener){
      @override
       OnitemClick(){
      //Your Codes here
            }
          }

    events = new EventsData(this);
    try {
        Cursor cursor = getEvents();
        showEvents(cursor);
    } finally {
        events.close();
    }
}

private static String[] FROM = { _ID, NAME, VALUE, POSITION, NUMBER };
private static String ORDER_BY = NAME + " ASC" ;

private Cursor getEvents() {
    // Perform a managed query. The Activity will handle closing
    // and re-querying the cursor when needed.
    SQLiteDatabase db = events.getReadableDatabase();
    Cursor cursor = db.query(TABLE_NAME, FROM, null, null, null, null, ORDER_BY);
    startManagingCursor(cursor);
    return cursor;
}

private void showEvents(Cursor cursor) {
    // Set up data 
    SimpleCursorAdapter adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this,
            R.layout.item, cursor, FROM, TO);
    setListAdapter(adapter);
}

public void addPlayer(View view) {
    startActivity(new Intent(this, AddingActivity.class));
}
}

I cant use Eclipse now but define your listview on oncreate method and use lise onitemclicklistener.

Answer 2

you need to implement the onItemCLickListener, and add a selector to the listview so your clicks highlight the row see here

protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
        // Do Stuff
     }
}
