Question

i hava got the code below. i want to start an activity when i click on a single item on the list. however when i do nothing happens. I alsow want every item to refer to the same intent calld “com.whiskey.app.view” and send a id variable that was given by the sql query. I browsed trough the code several times but i cant seem t get it to work.

  public class MainScreen extends Activity implements OnItemClickListener{

  public ListView whiskeylist;
  public String[] DataArryWhiskey; 

  ....

   @Override
      protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    // Start db view of whiskey

    DBConfig whiskeyrows = new DBConfig(this);


    whiskeyrows.open();
        DataArryWhiskey = whiskeyrows.getDataInArray();
    whiskeyrows.close(); 


    whiskeylist = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.listofWhiskey);
    whiskeylist.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1 , DataArryWhiskey));


    // End db view of whiskey

}// end onCreate


// catch itemclick event from the main list.
public void onItemClick(AdapterView av, View v, int position, long l) 
{
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub


    String[] listitem_data = DataArryWhiskey[position].split(","); // break passed sting into a array comma seperated

    Bundle passingitems = new Bundle();
    passingitems.putString("whiskey_id", listitem_data[0]);

    Intent currentintent = new Intent("com.wiskey.app.view");
    currentintent.putExtras(passingitems);

    startActivity(currentintent);

}

Although the above answers work, I think that the problem in your current implementation is that you don’t call:

whiskeylist.setOnItemClickListener(this);

I think this should do the work!
