How to disable clicking on ListView in android?

In your custom ArrayAdapter use isEnabled function to return false:

@Overridepublic boolean isEnabled(int position) {    return false;}

always works for me.

all the easier! list.setEnabled(false)

You can set the empty View as showed and it will be handled automatically:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"         android:orientation="vertical"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="match_parent"         android:paddingLeft="8dp"         android:paddingRight="8dp">     <ListView android:id="@android:id/list"               android:layout_width="match_parent"               android:layout_height="match_parent"               android:background="#00FF00"               android:layout_weight="1"               android:drawSelectorOnTop="false"/>     <TextView android:id="@android:id/empty"               android:layout_width="match_parent"               android:layout_height="match_parent"               android:background="#FF0000"               android:text="No data"/> </LinearLayout>
