It is possible to add click event to your activity. You need to do as below:

You could have done setContentView(R.layout.main); in onCreate() of your activity.

In main.xml, give some id to the root layout. For eg.,

Lets consider you have root as LinearLayout with id set as below,

Then in onCreate() of your activity, you will have to do the following:

LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.linearLayout);
layout.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        }
    });
