OnItemClickListener doesn't fire

The Register Button works well, but the debugger doesn't run into the setOnItemClickListener onItemClick. If You click on a item, the activity for editing the record should be launched.

I add the item clickable for the textfield. I think that is not realy necesarry.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"

</LinearLayout>

You have focusable/clickable items in your list view item - the checkbox.
Option 1 - Set the android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants" flag to your ListView and you should have fired the onItemClickListener.
Option 2 - In your Adapter you can set an onClickListener on the entire list view item object, and handle it from there.

the Problem of my solution was on row.xml
again thanX on all:
row.xml
<LinearLayout
android:clickable="true" (removed)
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv_title"
android:onClick="Title" (added)
android:clickable="true" (added)
android:focusable="true" (added)
on my Activity_cardmanager I inserted following code after nameList.setAdapter...
nameList.setClickable(true); // 2015-04-14
nameList.setFocusable(true); // 2015-04-14
nameList.setItemsCanFocus(true); // 2015-04-14
setViewItemListener();
.
.
.
public void setViewItemListener() {
nameList.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> tobjParent, View tobjView, int tintPosition, long tlngid) {
Bundle passdata = new Bundle();
// Cursor listCursor = (Cursor) tobjParent.getItemAtPosition(tintPosition);
Cursor listCursor = (Cursor) nameList.getItemAtPosition(tintPosition); //2015-04-15
int nameId = listCursor.getInt(listCursor
.getColumnIndex(MindXopenHelper.KEY_ID));
passdata.putInt(MindXopenHelper.KEY_ID, nameId);
Intent passIntent = new Intent(Activity_cardmanager.this,
Activity_edit_mindxtables.class);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
Integer.toString(nameId), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
passIntent.putExtras(passdata);
startActivity(passIntent);
}
});
}
the returnValue is true, but that is another story.

You can do the following to hide txt2 when you first create the activity:
txt2.setVisibility(View.GONE);
Then in the click handler for the convert button:
txt2.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
In the click handler for the clear button, presumably you would want to make it GONE again.
Regarding the problem of the clear button being off the screen: wrap your LinearLayout in a ScrollView (making the ScrollView the top view of the hierarchy with a single LinearLayout child). That way the user can scroll down to see all the content of your layout. You need to change the height of the LinearLayout to wrap_content:
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#cad1d9"
>
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
>
. . .
</LinearLayout
</ScrollView>

package com.and.spin;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.Spinner;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class spin extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override

b.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View arg0) {
String spin=s.toString();
tv.setText(spin);
}
});
}
}
In this program, i'm trying to display selected options from the Spinner to the TextView. But output dsiplays android.widget.Spinner#44c0d7f8
I want output like (1,2,3,4 or 5) as the option selected in Spinner rather than android.widget.Spinner#44c0d7f8

You dont need shared preference to load values in spinner. You just need to declare array in string.xml file and load that.I am giving you my code.Just use it.:-
STEP-1:-
Declare array for spinner in your string.xml(res->values->strings.xml):--
<string-array name="country_array">
<item>Greece</item>
<item>United Kingdom</item>
<item>Italy</item>
<item>France</item>
<item>Germany</item>
<item>Turkey</item>
<item>Poland</item>
<item>India</item>
</string-array>
STEP-2:-
Declare Spinner widget in your layout xml file
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/spinCountry"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:paddingLeft="8dp"
android:popupBackground="#android:color/white"
android:scrollbars="none"
android:spinnerMode="dropdown" />
STEP-3:-
Declare Spinner in your Activity
Spinner spinCountry;
spinCountry= (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinCountry);//fetch the spinner from layout file
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, getResources()
.getStringArray(R.array.country_array));//setting the country_array to spinner
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
spinCountry.setAdapter(adapter);
//if you want to set any action you can do in this listener
spinCountry.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() {
#Override
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1,
int position, long id) {
}
#Override
public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) {
}
});

b.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()
{
public void onClick(View arg0)
{
String spin=s.getSelectedItem().toString();
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
tv.setText(spin);
}
});

spinCountry.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() {
#Override
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parentView,
View selectedItemView, int position, long id) {
try {
String select_item =parentView.getItemAtPosition(position).toString();
}
catch (Exception e) {
}
}
#Override
public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parentView) {
}
});

You are calling toString() method on spinner to get the selection which is wrong. You need to call getSelectedItemPosition() method to get the selection.

Send ListView results via Messaging application

I am very new to programming. I have an app that has several views. The Main view shows a list such as Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner. When a an item is selected, example Lunch, a list of lunch menu items is displayed such as Hamburger, Cheeseburger, French Fries... (this list is created from the string-array lunch_menu that is stored in \values\lunch.xml) as the user selects the items they want, it is stored in a new array called myNewList and is displayed whe the users presses the lunchList button. All of the items are displayed that the user selected. So far, So good. I created a android:onClick="shareMyList" in the selecteditems.xml and the button works, but does not populate my list. I think what i need is to some how convert it to a string, this is where I need help.
Here is my Problem now.... I have my Share button, that when pressed, I would like it to automatically open the default Messaging app and populate the list from the selected items ListView.
