I have a ListView that I'm populating with values from my database. If the database is empty, I'm setting the first item of the ListView to "No data.". I want to disable clicking on this item. I've used ArrayAdapter. I tried making areAllItemsEnabled,isEnabled false, but it was of no use. Even if I set the ListView's isClickable and setEnabled to false, it is of no use. And I put the code for the OnItemClickListener in the else condition,even that doesn't stop the list item from being clickable. Does someone have an alternate solution? Thanks!

In your custom ArrayAdapter use isEnabled function to return false:

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

always works for me.
