OnKeyListener or OnKeydown not work if children views take the focus
13,962
Thanks @Jeffrey. But I found a better way to do it. Just override the dispatchkeyevent method in ScrollView and handle trackball/keyboard events there. It works well.
public class MyScroller extends ScrollView {
public MyScroller(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
@Override
public boolean dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent event) {
if ((KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_UP == event.getKeyCode() || KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_DOWN == event.getKeyCode())) {
//handle key events here
}
return super.dispatchKeyEvent(event);
}
}

I want to listen to a ScrollView to see if it is scrolling. I used OnTouchListener, it works well. But when I want to add compatibility to trackball using OnKeyListener or overriding the OnKeydown method, it can't work. Seems like the child buttons taking the focus causes the problem.
Any solution or workaround to resolve this problem? Any help is appreciated.
Here are some demo codes to reproduce my problem:
public class TestActivity extends Activity { @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); ScrollView scrollView = (ScrollView) findViewById(R.id.scroll_view); LinearLayout mainLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.main_layout); LinearLayout.LayoutParams wrapParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams( ViewGroup.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT); for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) { MyItem item = (MyItem) LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.item, null); item.setParent(scrollView); item.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE); item.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT)); mainLayout.addView(item, wrapParams); } scrollView.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() { @Override public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) { // can go into here } }); scrollView.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener() { @Override public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) { if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_DOWN || keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_DOWN) { // never go in, unless no child button get focus } return false; } }); } }
main.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical"> <com.fannyxie.MyScroller android:id="@+id/scroll_view" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:descendantFocusability="beforeDescendants" android:clickable="true" android:focusable="true"> <LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical"> <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/main_layout" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical"> </LinearLayout> </LinearLayout> </com.fannyxie.MyScroller> </LinearLayout>
item.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <com.fannyxie.MyItem xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical"> <TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="TITLE"/> <Button android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/myButton" android:text="Button"></Button> </com.fannyxie.MyItem>
MyScroller.java
public class MyScroller extends ScrollView { public MyScroller(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) { super(context, attrs); } @Override public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) { //not go into here... Log.i("MyScroller", "onKeyDown"); return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event); } @Override public boolean onTrackballEvent(MotionEvent event) { //not go into here... Log.i("MyScroller", "onTrackballEvent"); return super.onTrackballEvent(event); } @Override protected boolean onRequestFocusInDescendants(int direction, Rect previouslyFocusedRect) { //some times go into here, when no button get the focus when entering first time Log.i("MyScroller", "request focus in descendants"); return super.onRequestFocusInDescendants(direction, previouslyFocusedRect); } }
MyItem.java
public class MyItem extends LinearLayout { private Button myButton; public MyItem(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) { super(context, attrs); } @Override protected boolean onRequestFocusInDescendants(int direction, Rect previouslyFocusedRect) { // never go into here Log.i("MyItem", "request focus in descendants"); return super.onRequestFocusInDescendants(direction, previouslyFocusedRect); } }

Fanny almost 12 yearsBut my problem just occurs with trackball/keyboard. Touching works fine.

Fanny almost 12 yearsI know there is a similar solution like your #2. I can set focus changed listener to all child views. But that looks a little ugly and not good at scalability(I should add the listener to every new child view in the future)
