I am trying to use ListViews using Java. I am developing an app for android. When I run code below it crashes my app and does not run. Here is my code

package com.zafar.myapp
import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.AdapterView;
import android.widget.AdapterView.OnItemClickListener;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.CheckBox;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class Myapp extends ListActivity {
CheckBox cbSetAlarm;

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    //setContentView(R.layout.main);

    setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.main, Food));

    ListView list = getListView();
    list.setTextFilterEnabled(true);
    list.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2, long arg3) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), ((TextView) arg1).getText(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }

    });
}

static final String[] Food = new String[] {
    "Ice Cream"
};
}

Can you help where am I making mistake? Why it doesnt run?

Thanks in advance
