Question

A book (“Android Recipes” by Smith and Friesen) shows this:

public class ContactsListListActivity extends ListActivity implements AdapterView.OnItemClickListener {

…yet not only was “AdapterView.OnItemClickListener” not available in Eclipse via New | Class | Interfaces (“Add” button) but when I added added “AdapterView.OnItemClickListener” it wasn’t recognized (“AdapterView cannot be resolved to a type”). Is this deprecated, or…???

Answer 1

A common error when working with Object.OnXXXListener() is that eclipse doesn’t import it automatically.

You can easily fixed it manually by adding:

import android.widget.AdapterView;

As another note:

AdapterView is not deprecated and it is already available since API 1.
