I’m using android listview and its working perfectly fine. my implementation as below

ListView listview = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.list);
setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(MyIncidentActivity.this,
    R.layout.row_incident, R.id.label_incident, db_results));

Now I introduced onItemClickListener as below and application crashes for no reason.

listview.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2,
                    long arg3) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            }
        });

    Well from you code where you are using 

    setListAdapter(adapter);

    indicates that you are using ListActivity, and while using ListActivity you get your list as follow:

    listView = this.getListView();

    or you can use

    listView = this.findViewById(android.R.id.list);

    and you are using

    listView = this.findViewById(R.id.list);

    which is wrong in case of ListActivity, and ListView cannot be found and results in NullPointerException.
