Xamarin.Android: Click event on Textview inside list view cell called multiple times - xamarin

Question

I have a list view in which inside each cell I have two textview, I need to handle the click event for one of the textview element. But when I put the click event inside the GetView() of the adapter, it is called multiple times.
public override View GetView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)
{
var item = tableItems[position];
ViewHolder holder;
View view = convertView;
if (view == null)
{
LayoutInflater layoutInflator = LayoutInflater.From(mContext);
view = layoutInflator.Inflate(Resource.Layout.myListViewCell, null);
holder = new ViewHolder();
holder.tvEmpName = view.FindViewById<TextView>(Resource.Id.tv_EmpName);
holder.tvEmpPhone = view.FindViewById<TextView>(Resource.Id.tv_EmpPhone);
view.Tag = holder;
}
else
{
holder = (ViewHolder)view.Tag;
}
holder.tvEmpName.Text = item.FullName;
holder.tvEmpPhone.Text = item.Phone;
holder.tvEmpPhone.Click += (sender, e) => {
// Click event to launch the Popup menu
// This event is being called multiple times, as Get view() being called multiple times.
};
return view;
}
I gone through this similar thread, but didn't find any solution.

The event is called multiple times because evertime when the metod getview is called you add a click event with +=.
In this case you can put the click event inside the if, like that:
if (view == null)
{
LayoutInflater layoutInflator = LayoutInflater.From(mContext);
view = layoutInflator.Inflate(Resource.Layout.myListViewCell, null);
holder = new ViewHolder();
holder.tvEmpName = view.FindViewById<TextView>(Resource.Id.tv_EmpName);
holder.tvEmpPhone = view.FindViewById<TextView>(Resource.Id.tv_EmpPhone);
view.Tag = holder;
holder.tvEmpPhone.Click += (sender, e) => {
// Code here
};
}
But the recyclerview is better than listview for this.
