Android: Let Parent View Handle On Click

Issue

I have a RelativeLayout that contains a few items: An ImageView and a few small TextView's. Functionally I want to have the same on click event fire when anything in the RelativeLayout is clicked. Visually I want to see the background of the RelativeLayout change so that it shows the entire layout (or "item") is being clicked.

My problem is that every time I click on the TextView's the on click doesn't propagate back to the parent view and so the background color doesn't change. How can I do this?

Solution

Ensuring you got no OnClickListener assigned to any of the childs of your RelativeLayout shall usually suffice for them to not receive clicks. Also check if you got no android:cliclable="true" set by any chance for it. Then once you assing OnClickListener to your RelativeLayout it should get all the clicks.
