Question

I have an activity in Android which uses a ListView. When I click on an item in the ListView, I would like to be able to determine which item was clicked. I have the following code:

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setRequestedOrientation (ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);

    setContentView(R.layout.listr);

   //setupDB();  
   //populateList3();
   ListView lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.ListView01);
   lv.setClickable(true);

   lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

   public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {      
        Toast.makeText(ListRecords.this,"Clicked!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
       }
   });

}

My layout.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  
<LinearLayout  
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"  

     android:id="@+id/Linear03lr"
     android:layout_width="fill_parent"  
     android:orientation="vertical"  
     android:gravity="center"
     android:layout_height="fill_parent">  


 <!--Put form controls here-->  
    <ListView android:id="@+id/ListView01"

 android:layout_width="wrap_content"
 android:layout_height="400dp" />

     <Button
        android:id="@+id/previousbutton"
        android:gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:layout_width = "fill_parent"
        android:layout_height = "fill_parent"

        android:text="Previous Menu"/>
</LinearLayout>  

What am I missing here to be able to intercept clicks on the Listview?

It might be easier to use ListActivity, then you simply have to over-ride onListItemClick.
