Android ExpandableListView OnChildClickListener Does not work

Question

I have an ExpandableListView and everything is ok. I have a checkbox in each child row that I want to toggle when I click on a child row as below:

expandableListView.setOnChildClickListener(new OnChildClickListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onChildClick(ExpandableListView parent, View v, int groupPosition, int childPosition, long id) {
        CheckBox checkBox = (CheckBox) v.findViewById(R.id.checkBox1);
        checkBox.toggle();
        return true;
    }
});

The problem is that program never enters inside onChildClick() event handler. Any Idea?

Try this,

set android:focusable=false for the check box. If it still doesn't work then add,

android:descendantFocussability=blocksDescendants to the top most layout.

Don't forget to Enable

@Override
public boolean isChildSelectable(int groupPosition, int childPosition) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return true;
}

As stated here, you might have to add the following lines to your checkbox:

    android:focusable="false"
    android:clickable="false"
    android:focusableInTouchMode="false"

With this I could simply use the OnChildClickListener of the ExpandableListView
