Question

I have a ListView and need to check, which item has been clicked.
The way I have it, it only shows my the selected item when I use the scrollwheel of my mouse (when testing it in the Eclipse emulator). When I test it on a real mobile device, it doesn’t react at all.

adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, listItems);
listView.setAdapter(adapter);

listView.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {

    public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1,
            int arg2, long arg3) {
        myFunction(listView.getSelectedItem());
    }

    public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    }
});

Use setOnItemClickListener instead of setOnItemSelectedListener

listView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position,
                    long id) {
            //get value for listItems using position    

                     String str =listItems[position];                   
                     myFunction(str);
            }
        });
