Taking a new View then inflate it will resolve the problem in listview onClick in TabHost...!

public View getView(final int position, View convertView1, ViewGroup parent) 
{

    final ViewHolder holder;

    final Context context;

    View convertView = null;

    if (convertView == null) 
    {
        convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.file_display_binding, null);                       
        holder = new ViewHolder();
        System.out.println("inside efficient array");                       
        holder.file_imgview = (ImageView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.file_icon_diplay);                                        

        convertView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
        {
            //@Override
            public void onClick(View v) 
            {
            }
        }
    }

Firstly, get your ListView from it's ID:

ListView lv = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.myListView);

Then, set its setOnItemClickListener like:

lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener()
    {

        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2,
                long arg3)
        {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        }
    });

What sort of items/row do you have in your ListView? What are the controls that you are having there? – Khawar Jul 14 '11 at 11:52
imageview textview and Button, it's on the tabActivity and for the progressDialog I have used the thread also, these is the actuall scenerio. – kamal_tech_view Jul 14 '11 at 12:08
Button is also a clickable Control and it can take over the control of the ListItem row. You can run a simple test by putting toasts in both's onClick/OnListItemClick i.e. ListView's itemClick and Button's OnClick. – Khawar Jul 14 '11 at 12:16
Well, if the other views are taking up focus, then you list would be clickable normally. You should set the views' focussable and foccusableInTouchMode property to false. – Kumar Bibek Jul 14 '11 at 12:18
no idea Bibek, it might be due to tabActivity or due to thread and handler it's not working... so, much in stuck.... – kamal_tech_view Jul 14 '11 at 13:59

lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnClickListener()
            {               
                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) 
                {
                    Intent inttentEventDetails = new Intent(Home.this, EventDetails.class);
                    inttentEventDetails.putExtra("EventID", v.getId());
                    overridePendingTransition(R.anim.slide_left, R.anim.slide_right);

                    TabGroupActivity pActivity = (TabGroupActivity)Home.this.getParent();
                    pActivity.startChildActivity("UpcomingEvents", inttentEventDetails);    
                }
            });

lv.setOnItemClickListener is not clickable, so, any suggestion for these — kamal_tech_view, Jul 14 '11 at 11:44

You must notice that when a custom ListView contains focusable elements, such as buttons or checkBoxes, the method onListItemClick may not work (I think it's the expected behaviour).

So you must remove the focus from these focusable elements and it shall do the trick. In other words, add the following commands to the focusable elements of your ListView:

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