Answer 1

 public class MyListView extends Activity 

intead of

 public class MyListView extends ListActivity 

and for listening the item clicks, use this :

  list1.setOnItemClickListener(
        new OnItemClickListener()
        {
            @Override
            public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View view,
                    int position, long id) {

                         //Take action here.
                 }
            }
     );

So your complete source code would be like this :

 public class MyListView extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */

  ListView list1;
private String array[] = { "Iphone", "Tutorials", "Gallery", "Android","item 1", "item 2", "item3", "item 4" }; 

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    list1 = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list);
    list1.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, array));        


list1.setOnItemClickListener(
        new OnItemClickListener()
        {

            @Override
            public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View view,
                    int position, long id) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                Object o = list1.getItemAtPosition(position);
                String pen = o.toString();
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "You have chosen the pen: " + " " + pen, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

            }   
        }       
);

 }
}

Edited as per ernazm answer:

if you want to use the

   public class MyListView extends ListActivity 

you must remove

 setContentView(R.layout.main);

As i see there is an drawable in your xml file you can still go with this for adding the image header using listview.addHeader():

 Resources res=getResources();
 Drawable d1=res.getDrawable(R.drawable.yourimage);
 textview.setBackgroundDrawable(d1);
 listview.addHeaderView(tv1);
