I’m going to share a code snippet that you may use to programmatically click a ListView item in your Android app. This will not simply highlight the desired ListView item, but also trigger the onItemClick listener.
This code is what I placed in a Fragment’s onLoadFinished() method:
|
1 2 |
int default_position = 2; listView.performItemClick(listView.getChildAt(default_position), default_position, listView.getItemIdAtPosition(default_position)); |
Simply replace the default_position value with the index number of the ListView item you want to click/select programmatically.
That item should be highlighted (assuming you have like, touch selectors) and also trigger the onItemClick listener on Android.
A possible error is . If this happens, wrap your code around a Runnable(), like this:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
listView.post(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { listView.performItemClick(listView.getChildAt(0), 0, listView.getItemIdAtPosition(0)); } }); |
