android - ExpandableListView groupIndicator is disabled with CheckBox -

i trying use expandablelistview , in group view need textview , checkbox (checkbox on right). issue seeing groupindicator view no longer tappable - tapping on not expand group anymore. if remove checkbox, groupindicator receives events , group expandable. same happens view receives kind of focus, example edittext. here layout of fragment containing expandablelistview:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <relativelayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="match_parent" >      <expandablelistview         android:id="@+id/categorylist"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="match_parent" >     </expandablelistview>  </relativelayout> 

the layout of group:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <linearlayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="match_parent"     android:background="@color/white_background"     android:orientation="horizontal" >      <textview         android:id="@+id/txtcategorygroup"         android:layout_width="0dip"         android:layout_height="@dimen/items_filter_group_height"         android:layout_marginleft="45dp"         android:layout_marginright="20dp"         android:layout_weight="1"         android:gravity="center_vertical|left"         android:textisselectable="false" />      <!--     <checkbox         android:id="@+id/cbgroup"         android:layout_width="wrap_content"         android:layout_height="wrap_content" >     </checkbox>     -->   </linearlayout> 

... and, if find useful, layout of child:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <linearlayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:layout_width="fill_parent"     android:layout_height="@dimen/items_filter_child_height"     android:background="@color/white_background"     android:orientation="horizontal" >      <checkbox         android:id="@+id/cbproperty"         android:layout_width="wrap_content"         android:layout_height="wrap_content" >     </checkbox>  </linearlayout> 

attached layout getting if checkbox un-commented:

tapping on red-marked groupindicator doesn't expand group. leaving commented expands it. said above: strange same happens edittext.

the work-around set groupindicator @null , set textview's compound left drawable relevant in response expandablelistview#ongroupcollapselistener , #ongroupexpandlistener, not happy writing code that.

thanks!

put android:descendantfocusability="blocksdescendants" in both linearlayout of group , child.
