<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:minWidth="25px"
android:minHeight="25px">
<ListView
android:minWidth="25px"
android:minHeight="25px"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="378.2dp"
android:id="#+id/listView1" />
</LinearLayout>
this is axml for each row in listview: called "Row1"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:minWidth="25px"
android:minHeight="25px">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:minWidth="25px"
android:minHeight="25px"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="81.1dp"
android:id="#+id/linearLayout1">
<ImageView
android:src="#drawable/Icon"
android:layout_width="91.7dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/imageView5" />
<TextView
android:text="Text"
android:layout_width="184.9dp"
android:layout_height="35.6dp"
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:gravity="center"
android:textSize="20dp" />
<Button
android:text="Chat"
android:layout_width="62.3dp"
android:layout_height="37.8dp"
android:id="#+id/chat1"
android:layout_marginTop="32dp" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
and this is the activity for listview: called "FriendsActivity"
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Android.App;
using Android.Content;
using Android.OS;
using Android.Runtime;
using Android.Views;
using Android.Widget;
namespace EJIK_Network
{
[Activity (Label = "FriendsActivity")]
public class FriendsActivity : Activity
{
ListView listview;
protected override void OnCreate (Bundle bundle)
{
base.OnCreate (bundle);
SetContentView (Resource.Layout.Friends);
listview = FindViewById<ListView> (Resource.Id.listView1);
View rootInAnotherLayout = this.LayoutInflater.Inflate (Resource.Layout.Row1,null);
Button chat = rootInAnotherLayout.FindViewById<Button> (Resource.Id.chat1);
chat.Click += (sender, e) => {
var CA = new Intent(this, typeof(ChatingActivity));
StartActivity (CA);
};
}
}
}
The cod run but when I clicked on chat button it didn't open the new layout wich I defined in "ChatingActivity"??????

Answer 1

You have to create a Custom Adapter and inside the GetView method:
public override View GetView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
var view = (convertView ??
this._context.LayoutInflater.Inflate(
Resource.Layout.Row1,
parent,
false)) as LinearLayout;
Button chat = view.FindViewById<Button> (Resource.Id.chat1);
chat.Click += (sender, e) => {
var CA = new Intent(this, typeof(ChatingActivity));
StartActivity (CA);
};
}
So clicking on the chat button of each list item, the ChatingActivity will start.
