setOnClickListener of a ListView not working

Tags:

So I'm trying to set up a setOnClickListener for my ListView but it's causing a crash in my program for some reason when I try... I'm quite new to programming so when it comes to troubleshooting I can't really do anything sadly :( my code is below so any ideas on what could be wrong would be extremely helpful:

public class HomePageActivity extends Activity {
    //ListView that holds the items
    ListView lstTest;
    
    //Array Adapter that holds the ArrayList and displays the items on the ListView
    AlertsAdapter arrayAdapter;
    
    //List that hosts the items
    ArrayList<Alerts> alrts = null;
    
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.homepage);
        
        //Initialize the ListView
        lstTest = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.lstText);
        
        //Initialize the ArrayList
        alrts = new ArrayList&lt;Alerts&gt;();
        
        //Initialize the array adapter
        arrayAdapter = new AlertsAdapter(HomePageActivity.this, R.layout.listitems,alrts);
        
        //Set the above adapter as the adapter of choice for our list
        lstTest.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);
        
        lstTest.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Intent intent = new Intent(
                HomePageActivity.this,
                PromotionActivity.class
                );
                startActivity(intent);
            }
        });
        //... ... ...
    }
} 

Any thoughts? I'm stuck :(

I saw that it said I probably want setOnItemClickListener which is originally what I had coded it as, but that it wouldn't work since eclipse told me my code was wrong with it.

Why my setOnClickListener is not working?

You need to put the setOnClickListener in one of the activity callbacks. In your onCreate() method, move the button there and then setOnClickListener() . Show activity on this post.

What is setOnClickListener in Java?

In Android, the OnClickListener() interface has an onClick(View v) method that is called when the view (component) is clicked. The code for a component's functionality is written inside this method, and the listener is set using the setOnClickListener() method.

What is setOnClickListener in Android?

OnClickListener and wires the listener to the button using setOnClickListener(View. OnClickListener) . As a result, the system executes the code you write in onClick(View) after the user presses the button. The system executes the code in onClick on the main thread.

You need to use setOnItemClickListener()

and then new android.widget.AdapterView.OnItemClickListener()

not new View.OnItemClickListener()
