This is my first android project so please help
I am trying to create an on click listener for my listview. I will have multiple listview so i cannot name my listview as android:id=”@id/android:list”. Well i can display data but i am not able to implement an onClickListener Method. I dont want to click on the textview or any button in the list view i want to click the whole list view while passing the value to the new activity

This is the main activity that starts when the applicaton is launched.

public class Db extends Activity {
private SQLiteDatabase newDb;
DataBaseHelper myDbHelper = new DataBaseHelper(this);
public ListAdapter adapter;
private ArrayList<String> results = new ArrayList<String>();


public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.main);
    openDatabase();
    newDb = myDbHelper.getReadableDatabase();   
    Cursor c = newDb.rawQuery("SELECT _id, organisation, address, postcode FROM shoplist", null);
    int i_organisation = c.getColumnIndex("organisation");
    int i_id = c.getColumnIndex("_id");
    int i_address = c.getColumnIndex("address");
    int i_postcode = c.getColumnIndex("postcode");

    //int count = c.getCount();
    //String data[] = new String[count];
    //int i= 0;
    for (c.moveToFirst(); !c.isAfterLast(); c.moveToNext())
    {
        String i1 = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex("_id"));
        String i2 = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex("organisation"));
        String i3 = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex("address"));
        results.add(i1);

        //i++;
    }
    customAdapter adapter = new customAdapter(getApplicationContext(),
            R.layout.main, results, results, results);
    setListAdapter(adapter);





}

private long inserttodata() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    ContentValues cv = new ContentValues();
    cv.put("id", "112");
    cv.put("organisation","test" );
     return newDb.insert("shoplist", null, cv);
}

private void openDatabase() {

    try {

        myDbHelper.createDataBase();

    } catch (IOException ioe) {

        throw new Error("Unable to create database");

    }

    try {

        myDbHelper.openDataBase();


    } catch (SQLException sqle) {
System.out.println("failed to open");
        throw sqle;

    }
    //String[] columns= new String[]{"_id", "Organisation"};
    //cursor = newDb.query("Shop", columns, null, null, null, null, null);

}

}

    if(dbExist){
        //do nothing - database already exist
    }else{

        //By calling this method and empty database will be created into the default system path
           //of your application so we are gonna be able to overwrite that database with our database.
        this.getReadableDatabase();

        try {

            copyDataBase();

        } catch (IOException e) {

            throw new Error("Error copying database");

    You should be using OnItemClickListener for list items, applies to the ListView, instead of trying to apply an OnClickListener to the cells themselves.

    theListView.setOnItemClickListener(new ListView.OnItemClickListener(...){...});
