Android :: InputType Makes Item Un-clickable

I have a ListView in which each item has a complex layout that contains, at some point, a TextView with android:inputType="text" and android:ellipsize="marquee". My problem is that inputType="text" does something that renders the whole listview item un-clickable.

I've tried:

CODE:........................

Nothing worked.

The reason why I use android:inputType="text" on a TextView is so that it becomes single-line and android:ellipsize="marquee" actually works. I've done my homework: android:singleLine is deprecated
android:lines="1", as suggested here, doesn't work, the text still wraps, you just don't get to see the second line, so the marquee effect does not appear.

or is it? My Ctrl+Space in Eclipse says this about android:singleLine (emphasis mine):

Constrains the text to a single horizontally scrolling line instead of letting it wrap onto multiple lines, and advances focus instead of inserting a newline when you press the enter key. * Deprecated: This attribute is deprecated and is replaced by the textMultiLine flag in the inputType attribute. Use caution when altering existing layouts, as the default value of singeLine is false (multi-line mode), but if you specify any value for inputType, the default is single-line mode. (If both singleLine and inputType attributes are found, the inputType flags will override the value of singleLine.). [boolean]

However, the docs do not say anything about any deprecation.
