setOnChildClickListener does not work

I'm trying to use Intent in my ExpandableListView.setOnChildClickListener to launch another activity but it doesn't work. I went through stackoverflow but the solutions did not relate to my problem. The following is my code:

@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        //code omitted to make it shorter
        expandableListView.setOnChildClickListener(new ExpandableListView.OnChildClickListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onChildClick(ExpandableListView expandableListView,
                                        View view,
                                        int groupPosition,
                                        int childPosition,
                                        long id) {
                activityStartIntent();
                return true;
            }
        });

    }

    public void activityStartIntent(){
        Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, AssignmentActivity.class);
        startActivity(intent);

And yes I did put the return type to true in isChildSelectable method:

@Override
    public boolean isChildSelectable(int groupPosition, int childPosition) {
        return true;
    }

I don't have any clickable or focusable attributes in my XML files. Despite all of this, I still cannot get my children onClick to work.

Thanks.
