Answer 1

You are using a ListActivity so dont use

ListView archiveaudio_listview = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.archiveaudio_list_listview);

Use it like this

ListView archiveaudio_listview = getListView();

Check this and this

instead of onitemclick you can use this.

@Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {

    //get selected items
    String selectedValue = (String) getListAdapter().getItem(position);
    Toast.makeText(this, selectedValue, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

}
