    copied!<p>I have an app that hits a REST service, gets some json and then places it into a listview. My main activity extends Activity and not ListActivity. I can scroll through the list items, but I cannot select any (at least by touch). I get to the listview through findViewBYId and have an adapter that extends SimpleAdapter. I have set the convertView inside the adapter's getVIew() as clickable. However when I do this, I can no longer click on the list items in the listView? Did I do this wrong? </p> <pre><code>public class App extends Activity { public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); jobsListView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.jobs_list); jobsListView.setAdapter(new JobItemAdapter(jobsListView.getContext(), jobsList, R.layout.list_item, new String[] {"title","location"}, new int[] {R.id.job_title, R.id.job_location})); jobsListView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() { @Override public void onItemClick(AdapterView&lt;?&gt; arg0, View arg1, int arg2, long arg3) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub Log.i("jobsListView.setOnItemClickListener()"," item clicked: " + arg0.getSelectedItemPosition()); } }); } public class JobItemAdapter extends SimpleAdapter { private List&lt;HashMap&lt;String,String&gt;&gt; jobsList; public JobItemAdapter(Context context, List&lt;HashMap&lt;String,String&gt;&gt; jobs, int resource, String[] from, int[] to) { super(context, jobs, resource, from, to); jobsList = jobs; } public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent){ Log.i(TAG," in JobItemAdapter getView() "); if (convertView == null) { //no previous views, inflate views convertView = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.list_item, parent, false); } //update textviews in layout TextView title = (TextView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.job_title); title.setText(jobsList.get(position).get("title")); TextView location = (TextView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.job_location); location.setText(jobsList.get(position).get("location")); //make the view clickable convertView.setClickable(true); return convertView; } } } </code></pre>

An individual column

Larger individual text columns get their own page to allow for proper reading.
