How to handle ListView click in Android

On your list view, use setOnItemClickListener

Suppose ListView object is lv, do the following-

lv.setClickable(true);lv.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {  @Override  public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int position, long arg3) {    Object o = lv.getItemAtPosition(position);    /* write you handling code like...    String st = "sdcard/";    File f = new File(st+o.toString());    // do whatever u want to do with 'f' File object    */    }});

You need to set the inflated view "Clickable" and "able to listen to click events" in your adapter class getView() method.

convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.list_item_text, null);convertView.setClickable(true);convertView.setOnClickListener(myClickListener);

and declare the click listener in your ListActivity as follows,

public OnClickListener myClickListener = new OnClickListener() {public void onClick(View v) {                 //code to be written to handle the click event    }};

This holds true only when you are customizing the Adapter by extending BaseAdapter.
